What result does adding a number to a date yield in NetSuite?

Adding a number to a date in NetSuite results in a new date. This operation effectively increments the date by the specified number of days. In programming and database contexts, this behavior is common because dates are often stored as numeric values that represent the number of days since a particular starting point, such as January 1, 1970. Therefore, when you add a number to a date, NetSuite treats the number as days to be added, resulting in an updated date that is the original date plus the specified offset.

For example, if you have a date and you add 5 to it, the resulting date will be five days later than the original date. This functionality is particularly useful in scenarios where you need to manipulate dates for scheduling, reminders, or any time-sensitive data management.
