Year 2000 problems are almost here!
Y2K Problem Defined
Briefly defined, the Y2K problem involves any or all of these:
 | Representing the year as a two-digit number, causing failures in arithmetic,
comparisons, sorting, and input/output to databases or files when manipulating date data:
incorrect software will assume that the maximum value of a year field is "99"
and will roll systems over to "00" which can be mistakenly interpreted as 1900
rather than 2000, resulting in negative date calculations and the creation of many
overnight centenarians.
|
| Incorrect leap year calculations will assume that the year 2000 has only 365 days
instead of 366. What’s more, although January 1, 2000 is the primary witching hour,
many date-dependent algorithms and forward-referencing systems are already beginning to
fail due to not properly classifying years divisible by 400; and
|
| Software values involving limited date ranges, including hardcoded values and
"magic bullets"
|
| Limits to system date data types in hardware registers |
