JavaScript Tutorial For Beginners #31 - The Date Object

Hey guys, in this javascript tutorial we'll take a look at the Date object and what we can do with it! The date object in javascript returns back the current date by default, but parameters can be passed into the object to store either future or past dates in a variable.

Any questions, just ask :)

Hello Developers. Great work Ninja. Well I just wanted to clarify that the getDay() does not return the day of the week you were born using the predefined date but the day of the week using local time.

thanks man, let me say that your teaching skills and explanations are awesome and so clear and understandable.. MASHALLAH :)

[MrSULTANC]

great,

small participant : birthday not equal birthday2 . because birthday variable mapped to certain hex number like 0x125aa in memory and birthday2 mapped to hex like 0x125bb.

so when you compare 0x125aa to 0x125bb definitely not equal :)

Little correction : The Time is not in milliseconds. It is in seconds: - It is called as Epoch Time.
On systems where the representation of Unix time is as a signed 32-bit number, the representation will end after the completion of 2, 147, 483, 647 (231 - 1) seconds from 00:00:00 on 1 January 1970, which will happen at 19 January 2038.
This is referred to as the "The Year 2038 problem" where the 32-bit signed Unix time will overflow and will take the actual count to negative.

There is no link down below for getting more information about dates. Please if you could give it :) and many thanks for your tutorials. They are great!

so months are 0 - 12, but days are 1 -31? Isn't that a bit inconsistent?

[rathdarasath]

thanks for video, but why did you know getTime method is "1 Jan 1970"?

[Gavrev]

It seems intensely irregular for the month to be zero to eleven when the year, date and time elements conform to literals.. lol. Day of the week is even more irritating when you work by Mon to Sun..

Hii Ninja,

why did you use : (Birthday.getTime == Birthday2.getTime) and not (Birthday.getTime === Birthday2.getTime) is there a difference?

[omikronweapon]

it's a bit of a shame the links promised in the videos are never in the description.

[Axodus]

Months are in an array format but days aren't? That's kinda weird.

[ivo]

If it is 0-11 months then why this it give 0 as month? Shouldn't it give out Jan/Feb etc?

[hilliparterable]

SO they aren't equal because of the name birthday and birthday2??? JS is freaky sometimes.

[ajitsinghal]

how strings get compared with "==" operator in java script ???
equals() method should've used instead :\

[muhammadsiddiqui]

0:28 There is no "My Date" in the lives of programmers.

[RaffaelW]

Month: 0 - 11
Day: 1 - 28...31
Week: 0 - 6 (So - Sa)

This definitions are so weired!
I understand zero based indexes but using that for months feels so wrong and does not help to write well readable code.
