Fun Fact

The 256th day of every year is celebrated as Programmer's Day in many countries because 256 is the number of distinct values that can be represented with an eight-bit byte.

Historical Context

Numbering days sequentially within a year has been used for centuries in astronomy, navigation, and computing. Systems such as Julian day counts and ordinal dates allowed early scientists and engineers to perform calculations without dealing with complex month structures. Modern software systems still rely heavily on day-of-year formats for logging, forecasting, and data processing.
