Date variables in apex
What is a date variable?
In Apex, you can use Date variables to store dates. A Date includes only the day, month, and year. It does not store the time (like hours, minutes, or seconds).
Date variables in Apex can be used to:
- Store dates (e.g., delivery date).
- Compare dates (e.g., check if one date is before or after another).
- Find a future date (e.g., payment due date).
- Calculate the number of days between two dates.
How to declare a date?
You can declare a date using the Date data type and the Date.newInstance method.
