A time period consists of a distinct start and end point. If the start and end of a period are expressed as date instead of a complete date time, then it is implied that the start of the period is the beginning of the start day (i.e. 00:00:00) and the end of the period is the end of the end day (i.e. 23:59:59). 186 186 187 -1. 188 -11. 189 -111.
