Write-Host $date -ForegroundColor DarkYellow If we change the 13 to 12 then the following output is produced. In the above output, an error is thrown as the system follows as the US time zone and month come first, so it can’t be greater than 12. To overcome this, local cultural settings can be used. For e.g., denotes July 16 in us format, whereas in the UK it generates an error as the second is considered as a month and month cannot be greater than 12. If the system follows the UK date format and if we specify US time format, then it is possible that either an error may be generated, or the wrong day is displayed. It is important to know the system’s local setting before typecasting a string into a date.
