import java.util.Scanner;

public class ReadDate {

   public static void main(String[] args) {

       //Declaring variables
       String usFDate;
       String mon,day,yr;
      
       //Scanner object is used to get the inputs entered by the user
       Scanner sc=new Scanner(System.in);
      
       //Getting the date entered by the user as string
       System.out.print("Enter the date in US Format (MM/DD/YYYY) :");
       usFDate=sc.nextLine();
      
       //Getting the Month by using the subString()method of String class
       mon=usFDate.substring(0,usFDate.indexOf('/'));
      
       //Getting the day
       day=usFDate.substring(usFDate.indexOf('/')+1,usFDate.lastIndexOf('/'));
      
       //Getting the year
       yr=usFDate.substring(usFDate.lastIndexOf('/')+1,usFDate.length());
      
       //Displaying the year in european format
       System.out.println("Date in Europian Format (DD.MM.YYYY) :"+day+"."+mon+"."+yr);
      

   }

}
