I'm wondering for this level, do we replace the variables holding from, to, and by, from string to localdate, so that it only accepts a specific date and time format?

sure! you can do that :-) we leave specific implementation details to you to decide. We specify the following: image However, I'm curious, if not the way you specify, what other approach have you thought about?

I'm thinking of making somekind of indicator to specify which type to use when creating a deadline or an event. I believe that the former is simpler and I think it should be faster to implement.

Think from the user's perspective. Would the user really care if you stored it as a string or a date? All the user would want is a way to store the date and time. 🙂
