    This Python code defines a regular expression to extract dates from text. It searches for numeric days, months written out or abbreviated, and 4-digit years in MM/DD/YYYY or DD/MM/YYYY format. The regular expression is used to search a passed text string, and if a date is found, it is returned. Otherwise, the string "No date found" is returned.
