You look at how haXe deals with functions in the next
chapter.
format()
The format function provides the reverse functionality of the Date.fromString() method, whereby
you supply the Date object and a string representing the format of the date you want to output, and
the function will return a string containing your newly processed date. The format string will accept
any values as specified in the strftime standard, with the exception of month names because of
internationalization issues. Table 3 - 7 details the accepted string tokens used to determine the
output format.
