: Since we don't need to calculate anything of minute, hour, month and year, can we just treat them as string?? so that makes easier to sort?
no, because that would violate the specification (which cannot be changed at this point in time)
besides, i want to see how you handle different types of data, how you apply simple algorithms (like "sorting") to new situations, how you convert integers to strings for output purposes, etc.
