Python for OOP - The A to Z OOP Python Programming Course - Exercise on Static Method (Part 2)

The video tutorial covers creating a static method to extract dates from strings using regular expressions. It explains the need for such a method, demonstrates how to implement it, and handles different date formats. The tutorial also includes debugging and testing the method to ensure it works correctly.

What is the primary purpose of creating the new method discussed in the lecture?

• To format dates into a specific pattern

• To calculate the difference between two dates

• To convert numerical dates into strings

• To extract dates from strings and convert them into objects

Which Python module is used to work with regular expressions in the lecture?

• re

• datetime

• os

• math

What method is used to find all occurrences of a pattern in a string?

• re.findall

• re.search

• re.match

• re.split

Why are two date formats provided in the method implementation?

• To handle different user preferences for date input

• To ensure compatibility with older systems

• To support international date formats

• To allow for future expansion of the method

What does the replace method do in the context of this lecture?

• It changes the date format from dash to slash

• It replaces all occurrences of a substring with another substring

• It removes all whitespace from a string

• It converts a string to uppercase

What was the error encountered during the testing phase?

• Missing import statement

• Using 'date' instead of 'data'

• Incorrect date format

• Syntax error in the method definition

What is the final step to ensure the method works correctly?

• Rewriting the entire code

• Adding more test cases

• Running all cells again

• Changing the method parameters
