There was a question about how to parse the date 03/03/2020 or that kind and then 4 options about how to parse them

Unfortunately we don’t know if this is european timewriting or american, does the day or month come first. Should be CLEAR imo before paying $300 for an exam (cleared it)

This matters because there were 4 options some having different day and month format:
1: parseexact(dd/MM/yyyy HH:mm:ss)
2: forgot but this was wrong bc MM was lowercase
3: parseexact(dd/MM/yyyy hh:mm:ss)
4: parseexact(MM/dd/yyyy hh:mm:ss)
First i was guessing the answer was 3 or 4 bc hours was not in capital letters, than it made me nervous because we dont know if month or day comes first so i chose 1 after which I checked and this is incorrect sytax for the hour….

Hoping to hear back

@okan_mutlu Hi ,

I think option 4 is the correct.

3

Any reasoning Behind why 4th is the right option.

4

As per my understanding in the given example (03/03/2020) month first and date and year so I have chosen option 4.

How would u know month is first?
