Fun fact, ISO 8601 used to allow 24:00:00 notation (as a synonym of 00:00:00), but in the latest version of the standard it does not.

You add 1 day (not 24 hours) to beginning of day. If you have a good library it should handle it correctly.

> 1 day (not 24 hours)

Just to spell it out, some days have 25 hours or 23 hours due to daylight savings, or 24 hours and 1 second because of leap seconds, etc.
