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?

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. 🙂
