15042024

15042024 is an eight-digit numeric sequence. In many locales that use day-month-year notation, it is read as the date 15 April 2024. The same sequence can function as an identifier or code in databases, file names, or catalog systems when separators are omitted.

Interpreting the date unambiguously depends on format. With ddmmyyyy, the components are day=15, month=04, year=2024, yielding 15 April 2024. In contrast, formats that assume month-first conventions or that require separators may misinterpret the string. The ISO 8601 standard typically uses year-month-day, which would render 2024-04-15 if the date were written with separators.

In practical use, 15042024 may be converted to standard forms in software, enabling proper sorting and comparison. Without separators, leading zeros are significant; dropping them (for example, turning 0 into nothing) can compromise chronological order.

Historically, the calendar date corresponding to 15 April has notable associations: the sinking of the RMS Titanic in 1912 and the death of U.S. President Abraham Lincoln in 1865 occurred on April 15 in different years.

The string is an example of how date-like numerals can be ambiguous without explicit formatting. Related topics include date formats, ddmmyyyy and yyyymmdd representations, and ISO 8601.
