Date.parse() — epoch string returns 0

📖 Usage Example

Date.parse('2024-01-15T00:00:00.000Z')  // → 1705276800000
Date.parse('invalid')  // → NaN

Use Date.parse() to convert a date string into a millisecond timestamp, or detect invalid strings by checking for NaN.

Date.parse()

Parses a date string and returns the number of milliseconds since Unix epoch, or NaN if invalid.

Challenge: Verify that Date.parse('1970-01-01T00:00:00.000Z') returns 0.
