Date Constructor β€” date string

πŸ“– Usage Example
const d1 = new Date()
const d2 = new Date('2024-01-15')
const d3 = new Date(2024, 0, 15)  // β†’ Jan 15 2024
d3 instanceof Date  // β†’ true

Use new Date() to create a Date object from the current time, a timestamp, a date string, or explicit year/month/day arguments.

Date Constructor

new Date(dateString) parses an ISO 8601 date string.

Challenge: Verify that new Date('2024-01-15').getFullYear() returns 2024.

πŸ’‘ Hints (1)
  • β€’ ISO 8601 date strings like "YYYY-MM-DD" are reliably parsed by new Date()
