What kind of variables are date and day of the week?

how can date be categorical variable since Date is number (numerical )??

Hi. Even though date consists of numbers, the numbers themselves dont mean anything mathematically. For example, A)10-06-2020 and B)15-06-2020 are two dates but we cannot literally compare both the dates numerically as in A<B or A>B. Also another quality of numerical data is having measurement units which date per se doesnt have. Hope it helps
