What will be the output of the following expressions where Date1=04/12/98 and Date2=11/09/01? TO_DATE(Date1, MM/DD/RR') TO_DATE(Date2,MM/DD/YY')

The RR format code interprets two-digit years relative to the current century (assuming cutoff year 50), so 04/12/98 with RR becomes 04/12/1998. The YY format interprets years literally within the current century's window, so 11/09/01 with YY becomes 11/09/1901. The RR format is Y2K-compliant as it intelligently handles century rollover, while YY has a fixed interpretation that can place dates in the wrong century.
