Thank you for looking at this. I am making a movie rental software. Where you can put in the information, then you can say how long you want to rent it. Well after you say how long the user needs to insert the current date. I am trying to get it where the user can input the current date in the format mm/dd/yyyy. I am also trying to get it where the output is in mm-dd-yyyy. How do I do this? Below is what I have so far. I currently have the format where it is (Name of Month) dd, yyyy. And the output is yyyy-mm-dd. I have used a few answers to different questions from here and it still did not help.

String firstName = in.next();

char firstIn = firstName.charAt(0);
System.out.println("What movie would you like to rent?");
String movieTitle = in.nextLine();
//I used "Halo: The Fall of Reach" as an example. It is a real moviebased on Halo.
System.out.println("How many days are you wanting to keep \"" + movieTitle + "\"? ");
String rentalLength = in.nextLine();
LocalDate dueDate
= (LocalDate.now().plusDays(Integer.parseInt(rentalLength)));
System.out.println("Enter date in " + defaultDateFormat + " format: " );
//This says Month dd, 2021. I need to change it to mm/dd/yyyy.
String dateString = in.nextLine();
try {
LocalDate inputDate = LocalDate.parse(dateString, dateFormatter);
System.out.println("Date entered was " + inputDate);
} catch (Exception dtpe) {
System.out.println("Invalid date: " + dateString);
}
System.out.println("Please enter your card number: ");
String cardNumber = in.nextLine();
String censoredCard = cardNumber.substring(10);
System.out.println("Please enter your PIN number: ");
String pinNumber = in.nextLine();
double totalPrice = (rentalPrice * Integer.parseInt(rentalLength));
double taxedPrice = ((totalPrice * federalSalestax) + totalPrice);
System.out.println("Account Charged: #####-###-" + censoredCard);
System.out.println("Price: $" + totalPrice);
System.out.println("Due Date: " + dueDate);
System.out.println("Due Time: " + sdf.format(date));
System.out.println("Thank you for your purchase.\nEnjoy your rental!");
}
}
Below is an example of the output

This is an unfinished project where the bottom portion(after I get this figured out with your help) will be formatted as an e-receipt.
