Python Solution

class Solution:
    def reformatDate(self, date: str) -> str:
        mapping = {"Jan": "01", "Feb": "02", "Mar": "03", "Apr": "04", "May": "05", "Jun": "06", "Jul": "07", "Aug": "08", "Sep": "09", "Oct": "10", "Nov": "11", "Dec": "12"}
        
        year = date.split()[2]
        month = date.split()[1]
        day = date.split()[0]
        formatted_day = ""
        
        for c in day:
            if not c.isdigit():
                break
            else:
                formatted_day += c 
                
        if len(formatted_day) == 1:
            formatted_day = "0" + formatted_day
        
        reformatted_date = year + "-" + mapping[month] + "-" + formatted_day
        
        
        return reformatted_date
