Dear friends! Today we are celebrating a round date .... An unexpected question from the audience: "And when will we mark the square with the triangular?" Well, but aside from jokes, “date” is what is it anyway?
It is known that they are calendar and settlement, are found in documents, knocked out on the plates of monuments. And each carries certain information.
The figure "in law"
So, the calendar date consists of several components:
- serial number of the day;
- name or number in the order of the month;
- and number (again ordinal), which means the calendar year.
For most modern people, this is so natural and daily occurring that it is difficult to even imagine the existence of a certain Law of the Russian Federation governing this concept. It is called, by the way, "On the calculation of time."
Less commonly, a date is also a plus to the points already mentioned:
- day of the week
- her number in the year
- system of chronology.
There are various formats for recording dates. This can be illustrated by the example of recording the same moment in time. For example, April 12, 1961.
- 04/12/1961 (number.month.year);
- 1961-04-12 (year-month-day);
- 4/12/1961 (American format);
- 1961.12.04 (in the documents of Kazakhstan);
In the Soviet Union, until the 60s of the last century, the first two digits of the year were still written, then the date and month through a fractional line and two final digits of the year. Now this writing can be found on tombstones.
Often the last two digits are used to indicate the year of the date.
At businessmen, programmers, anniversaries
Settlement date is the day when, according to the terms of the contract between the parties, they settle on a specific financial transaction.
In the 1C programming language, a date is a component of great importance. Distinguish dates:
- relevance
- prohibition of editing,
- user
- server and others.
When an event is a multiple of 10 years, this date is called "round." These will be 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 years and so on. The meaning of the words "date is round" and "anniversary date" are synonymous.
