[Year 12 SofDev] Data Integrity: different between accuracy andcorrectness?

[Travis Parker]

I taught my kids that if you are asked for a date in DD/MM/YYY format in a program then whilst "1st of September 2016" is technically correct, writing 01/09/2016 is accurate.

Mistake???

I have read Mark's views on this http://vceit.com/wp/correctness-versus-accuracy/

Don't think they helped :-)


I think they are essentially synonymous:
eg my phone number is 0477999111 is both accurate and correct.

Hi all,

As part of the five characteristics of data integrity we have both accuracy and correctness; how do we differentiate the two of these?

Thanks
