new Date() | This method returns current date and time based on the browser’s time zone. | console.log(new Date()); Output: The current date and time will be displayed |
new Date(year, month, day, hours, minutes, seconds, milliseconds) | This method creates a new Date object with a specified date and time. | var date = new Date(2019, 06, 07, 10, 33, 30, 0); console.log(data); Output: Sun Jul 07 2019 10:33:30 GMT+0530 (India Standard Time) |
new Date(milliseconds) | This method adds/subtracts milliseconds mentioned here from the current date. | console.log(new Date(1000)); Output: The current date and time + 1000 milliseconds will be dispalyed |
