Is R superstitious regarding POSIXct data type

Question

For a project, I was converting strings to POSIXct format using strptime function.

x <- strptime(\"2016-03-13 02:56:16\", \"%Y-%         


        

Answer 1

The problem is that there was no such time as "2016-03-13 02:56:16". 13 Mar 2016 was when Daylight Savings Time started. At 2AM, that day, the clock jumped immediately to 3AM.
