Examples

## timeDate - 
   tC = timeCalendar()

## Convert 'timeDate' to a character strings:
   as.character(tC)
#>  [1] "2023-01-01" "2023-02-01" "2023-03-01" "2023-04-01" "2023-05-01"
#>  [6] "2023-06-01" "2023-07-01" "2023-08-01" "2023-09-01" "2023-10-01"
#> [11] "2023-11-01" "2023-12-01"
   
## Coerce a 'Date' object into a 'timeDate' object:
   as.timeDate(Sys.Date())
#> GMT
#> [1] [2023-12-15]
