USAGE

1 Strictly speaking， centuries run from 01 to 100， meaning that the new century begins on the first day of the year 01 （i.e. 1 January 1901， 1 January 2001， etc.）. In practice and in popular perception， however， the new century is held to begin when the significant digits in the date change， i.e. on 1 January 2000， when 1999 becomes 2000.2 Since the 1st century ran from the year 1 to the year 100， the ordinal number （i.e. second， third， fourth， etc.） used to denote the century will always be one digit higher than the corresponding cardinal digit(s). Thus， 1066 is a date in the 11th century， 1542 is a date in the 16th century， and so on.
