    Date Object

    The Date object is used to work with dates and times.

    Date objects are created with new Date().

    There are four ways of instantiating a date:

    var d = new Date();


    var d = new Date(milliseconds);
    var d = new Date(dateString);
    var d = new Date(year, month, day, hours, minutes, seconds, milliseconds);

    For a tutorial about date and times, read our JavaScript Date Tutorial.
