Function is to convert a given input date (in various formats) into a standardized date format of “MM/DD/YYYY” (month/day/year).

The function ‘formatDate’ does this by creating a new Date object from the input date and then extracting the month, day, and year components to build the final formatted date string.

function formatDate(date) {
            let formattedDate = new Date(date);
            let month = formattedDate.getMonth() + 1;
            let day = formattedDate.getDate();
            let year = formattedDate.getFullYear();
            return month + '/' + day + '/' + year;
            }
