JS Practice — Built-in Objects

Date.now() — consistent with new Date().getTime()

📖 Usage Example

const ts = Date.now()  // e.g. 1705276800000
typeof ts  // → 'number'

Use Date.now() to get the current time as milliseconds since the Unix epoch without creating a Date object.

Date.now()

Date.now() is equivalent to new Date().getTime(). Both return the same kind of value.

Challenge: Verify that typeof Date.now() === typeof new Date(0).getTime().

💡 Hints (1)

• Date.now() is the preferred static shorthand — same result as new Date().getTime()
