I don't understand the difference between Glide Date Time and Glide Date.

Hi.

Please tell me the difference between Glide Date Time and Glide Date as a coding beginner.

As far as I can tell, I think it's related to getting the timezone, but I'm not sure.

Also, I feel that GlideDateTime is basically used. Is there a good case where GlideDateTime is bad and GlideDate is good?

Thank you!

Hi,

I would suggest you to go through the developer site and you would find lots of examples for this

GlideDate   -> for Date calculations

GlideDateTime -> for Date/Time calculations

Thank you for linking to the developer site.

So, is there a best practice, such as which is better to use GlideDateTime or GlideDate when doing date calculations?

Thank you!

Sorry for the late reply.

I didn't know what kind of time it would be if I used GlideDate instead of GlideDateTime, even if I checked the materials that cooperated with me.

If you don't mind, could you tell me if there is an example of using GlideDate?

Thank you!
