use std::time::SystemTime;

fn main() {
    let now = SystemTime::now();
    let formatted_date = format_date(now, "%Y-%m-%d");
    println!("Today is: {}", formatted_date);

    let parsed_date = parse_date("2024-12-29").unwrap();
    println!("Parsed date: {:?}", parsed_date);

    let yesterday = now - std::time::Duration::from_secs(86400);
    let days = days_between(now, yesterday);
    println!("Days between now and yesterday: {}", days);
}

Supported Formatting Symbols

• %Y: Year, e.g., "2024"
• %m: Month, e.g., "12"
