Influence and behavior:

Closest	the year is expanded to the nearest date - in a past, future, or current century: Current date: 1/15/2018 User enters: 1/20/18 Current century prefix – 20: 1/20/2018 Nearest past century prefix – 19: 1/20/1918 Nearest future century prefix – 21: 1/20/2118 Logics: Of the three, 1/20/2018 is closest to the current date. Resulting expansion: 1/20/2018
Past	the year is expanded to the nearest date that is definitely in the past: Current date: 1/15/2018 User enters: 1/20/18 Current century prefix – 20: 1/20/2018 Nearest past century prefix – 19: 1/20/1918 Logics: Only one variant is definitely in the past, 1/20/1918. Resulting expansion: 1/20/1918
Future	the year is expanded to the nearest date that is definitely in the future: Current date: 1/15/2018 User enters: 1/20/18 Current century prefix – 20: 1/20/2018 Nearest future century prefix – 21: 1/20/2118 Logics: Both variants are definitely in the future, but 1/20/2018 is closer to the current date. Resulting expansion: 1/20/2018
Current	the year is prefixed with the digits of the current century: Current date: 1/15/2018 User enters: 1/20/18 Current century prefix – 20: 1/20/2018 Resulting expansion: 1/10/2018
