Mis vahe on kuupäeva salvestamisel ja pildi (UI Image) salvestamisel mälus?

When storing a Date in memory, a unified representation is typically used, such as the number of seconds since a reference point (Epoch), occupying a fixed and relatively small amount of memory (usually 64 bits for TimeInterval).

When storing an image (UIImage), its pixel representation is usually stored in memory. The memory size depends on the image's dimensions (width * height) and pixel format (number of bytes per pixel, e.g., 4 bytes for RGBA). Additional memory may be required for decompressing the image if it is compressed (e.g., JPEG).

Main differences:

• Data type: Date - a numeric or structured representation of a moment in time. Image - a two-dimensional array of pixel data.
• Memory size: Date occupies a fixed, small amount of memory. The size of the image depends on its dimensions and format, and can be significantly larger.
• Representation: Date - an abstract value. Image - a set of specific color data for each pixel.
• Operations: Arithmetic operations are applied to the date (adding/subtracting intervals). For the image, pixel processing operations (scaling, filters).
