19151982

19151982 is a concatenated representation of a lifespan indicating that a person was born in 1915 and died in 1982. In standard typography, the lifespan is written with an en dash: 1915–1982. The form 19151982 is not conventional in published texts, but may appear in data records, filenames, or simplified catalogs where punctuation is stripped or not allowed.

In biographical writing, the conventional approach is to place the years in parentheses after the name, for example, Jane Doe (1915–1982). When used as an identifier in databases, the string 19151982 can serve as a compact key, though it should be accompanied by metadata to avoid ambiguity about which person is meant or whether it denotes a year span.

Ambiguity: Without separators, 19151982 can be misread as a single number, a product code, or an internal reference rather than a date range. Therefore, context and metadata are essential to interpret it correctly.

Historical scope: The years 1915 through 1982 encompass significant historical periods, including the late stages of World War I, the interwar era, World War II, the postwar reconstruction and Cold War, and the early 1980s. Cultural, scientific, and political developments across these decades shaped many individuals whose lifespans fall within this interval.
