We only give homework help to those who show effort.

Look up the strtok function.

  1. Read the date into a char array (from the user or a file or wherever).
  2. A date can have a simple and strict format, so you can specify a few acceptable ones and compare the input to those.
  3. Go through the array one character at a time and copy the respective parts to new arrays for the day, month and year.
  4. Done. output the result.

Have a go at doing something like that and then see how you get on. If you have further problems, then post the code that you've written and explain what errors you have in a bit more detail.

we can use spit() which can be used to split a char array using a delimiter

we can use spit()

In what library? That's not in the Standard C library for sure.
