Answer

Python is moderately type-checked. Implicit conversions are defined for numeric types. Despite the fact that a date type value is automatically converted to a numerical value, we can use Python casting when working with a date type value so that this conversion doesn´t take place. In light of the fact that a string is an invalid argument for a mathematical function expecting a number, we can convert the date type value into a string so that no undesired mathematical operation takes place when the variable is assigned by the script.
