[Year 12 SofDev] Time/Date

[Vella, James]

My understanding is that for this subject Time/Date can be stored as a String, Integer or Floating point data type. Unlike IT Apps, I was under the assumption that we don't make the distinction and that it depended on the context at hand?

However this might be my own interpretation and completely wrong...
