What is a Timestamp?
A timestamp is an integer value representing the number of seconds or milliseconds elapsed since January 1, 1970, 00:00:00 UTC (Coordinated Universal Time). It's a universal standard for tracking time in computer systems, unaffected by factors like time zones or daylight saving time, making it convenient for representing specific moments globally. Unix timestamps are widely used in programming, database storage, log recording, and other scenarios, serving as an essential tool for programmers working with time.
