When working with dates, there is a special
timestamp format that in JavaScript shows
the number of milliseconds that have elapsed
since 1st of January 1970 to
the current (or given) point in time.
There is a special method getTime
that can be used to get the time in timestamp
format. Let's, for example, get the current
time in this format:
let date = new Date();
console.log(date.getTime());
Get the given time in timestamp format:
let date = new Date(2015, 11, 4, 23, 59, 59);
console.log(date.getTime());
Display the timestamp corresponding to
the date 1 of January 2025.
