Range Left or Right, both are creating similar partition but there is difference in comparison

For example: in this scenario, when you use LEFT and 20100101,20110101,20120101 Partition will be, datecol<=20100101, datecol>20100101 and datecol<=20110101, datecol>20110101 and datecol<=20120101, datecol>20120101

But if you use range RIGHT and 20100101,20110101,20120101

Partition will be, datecol<20100101, datecol>=20100101 and datecol<20110101, datecol>=20110101 and datecol<20120101, datecol>=20120101

In this example, Range RIGHT will be suitable for calendar comparison Jan 1st to Dec 31st
