mask attribute to display the date or time in a different format,
as described in the following table:
Pattern letter Description
Y Year. If the number of pattern letters is two, the year is truncated to two digits;
otherwise, it appears as four digits. The year can be zero-padded, as the third
example shows in the following set of examples:
Examples:
YY = 03
YYYY = 2003
