Datetime error

Datetime insdate;
insdate = 2013-10-07 00:00:00;
System.debug(insdate);

 

when i try to execute this as  annonymous, I get the error unexpected token: '2013-10-07'

 

My question is, How do we assign a datetime value to a variable?

You could instantiate a date something like this:

 

datetime insDate =datetime.newInstance(2013, 10, 1,00,00,00);
system.debug('insDate is '+ insDate);
