For the second question, try something like:strptime('12/4/1996','%M/%d/%Y')[1] "1996-09-04 00:12:00" # only date?as.Date(strptime('12/4/1996','%M/%d/%Y'))[1] "1996-09-04"
Why not
as.Date('12/4/1996', format = '%m/%d/%Y')
[1] "1996-12-04" ? (And note the typo in your solution and hence incorrect answer.)
