## Welcome!

In this session we are going to work with **DATES** and **TIMES** with the **LUBRIDATE** package!

Why do we need a package for that?

- Dates come in different forms and shapes:
  - 01.09.2022
  - 01/09/22
  - 09-01-2022
  - SEP-09-22
  - September, 09, 2022
  - 09 SEP 22
  
- Many details for dates and time:
  - Lead years
  - Daylight savings time (DST) 
  - Time zones

- For doing calculations with dates
