Date$ Time$
Can you please tell me what the dollar sign represents in the Built in Functions under Functions under the Build option.
There seems to time, time$, date and date$ - what is the difference between them?

RE: Date$ Time$
Returns the current time. Time$()gives it as a string.
Gives today's date. Date$() gives it as a string.
A "string" is a series of bits that represents some piece of text in human language. What you're reading now is text. Strings are how this text is represented inside a computer.
