Hi Sathya,

Interpretation(Date#()) vs Formatting(Date()):-

1.Interpretation functions use the textual value of the input, and convert this to a number.

2.Formatting functions use the numeric value of the input, and convert this to a text.

In both cases, the output is a dual, i.e. it has both a textual value and a numeric value. The textual value is displayed, whereas the numeric value is used for all numerical calculations and sorting.

Check this link which has exxamples too
