Eyal Rozenberg <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Resolution|NOTABUG |--- Status|RESOLVED |UNCONFIRMED --- Comment #5 from Eyal Rozenberg <[email protected]> --- (In reply to Werner Tietz from comment #3) > what else than a float? A _date_ (or datetime) value, of course! Please re-read the title. Intuitively, for users, a date is not a number; it is a combination of numbers, typically year, month and day (but that depends on the calendar of course). In software, it also often the case that a date is not just a number: Languages such as C++, Javascript and Python use (by default) non-integer types for dates. Of course, internally, every kind of information is eventually represented by bytes interpreted somehow. But that does not mean that "clearing the formatting" degenerates a date into a number. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
