Answer
LocalDateTime lacks timezone info. Frame the concept in practical terms so you can explain it during interview discussion.
Using java.time.LocalDateTime without considering time zones can lead to inconsistencies, especially in global applications. It represents date and time without timezone details, which can cause errors in scheduling or logging events across different regions. Always use ZonedDateTime for global timestamps.
