       Function that accepts date in one format and prints in another format
   """
  
   # Reading date from user
   date = input("\n Input date in the form mm/dd/yyyy: ");
  
   # Splitting date on '/'
   sDate = date.split('/');
  
   # Extracting day, month, year
   dd = sDate[1];
   mm = int(sDate[0]);
   yyyy = sDate[2];
  
   # Dictionary that maps month from numeric to string
   months = {1:"January", 2:"February", 3:"March", 4:"April", 5:"May", 6:"June", 7:"July", 8:"August", 9:"September", 10:"October", 11:"November", 12:"December"};
  
   # Checking for valid month
   if mm in months.keys():
       # If month is valid
       month = months[mm];
       # Forming new date
       newDate = month + " " + dd + ", " + yyyy;
       # Printing date in specified format
       print("\n Date after formatting: " + newDate + " \n");
   else:
       # Invalid value for month
       print("\n Invalid month \n");
  
  
# Calling main function  
main();
