01022020

01022020 is an eight-digit sequence that is commonly used as a date stamp without separators. Its interpretation depends on the date format applied. If read as day-month-year (ddmmyyyy), it represents 01 02 2020, i.e., 1 February 2020. If read as month-day-year (mmddyyyy), it represents 01 02 2020, i.e., January 2, 2020.

In computing and data storage, fixed-width date strings like 01022020 support straightforward lexicographic ordering, but the same digits can be ambiguous across locales. For global exchange, the ISO 8601 standard—YYYY-MM-DD—avoids ambiguity.

In some programming languages, a leading zero may mark an octal literal, which could cause 01022020 to be parsed as octal, yielding decimal 271,376.

Outside programming, 01022020 can be used as an identifier, filename, or timestamp where a compact, sortable form is desired, but documentation should specify the intended interpretation.
