Working with date and time

Julia offers full date and time support and arithmetic via the Dates base module.

In Julia, similar to other languages, handling of dates is done via two types:

• Date: Represents the date without the time (just the year, month, and day)
• DateTime: Represents the date, along with the millisecond precision time
