Explanation

In the above program, we created a module Module1 that contains the Main() function. The Main() function is the entry point for the program.

In the Main() function, we created an object of the DateTime class and converted the date object into 64-bit binary using ToBinary() method and then get the Date object from 64-bit binary value. After that print the date on the console screen.
