file_modification_date.py

'''
The file_date function creates a new file in the current working directory, 
checks the date that the file was modified, and returns just the date portion 
of the timestamp in the format of yyyy-mm-dd. Fill in the gaps to create a 
file called "newfile.txt" and check the date that it was modified.
