getTime() — epoch returns 0

📖 Usage Example

const d = new Date('2024-01-15T00:00:00.000Z')
d.getTime()  // → 1705276800000
new Date(0).getTime()  // → 0

Use getTime() to get the number of milliseconds elapsed since the Unix epoch (Jan 1, 1970 UTC).

Date.prototype.getTime()

Returns milliseconds since the Unix epoch (Jan 1, 1970 00:00:00 UTC). For the epoch itself this is 0.

Challenge: Verify that new Date(0).getTime() returns 0.
