JavaScript Date now() Method
JavaScript date.now() method is used to return the number of milliseconds elapsed since January 1, 1970, 00:00:00 UTC. Since now() is a static method of Date, it will always be used as Date.now().
Syntax:
let A = Date.now();
Parameters:
This method does not accept any parameter.
Return Values:
It returns the number of milliseconds elapsed since January 1, 1970, 00:00:00 UTC.

Javascript
// Use of method Date.now()let A = Date.now();// Printing the number of millisecond elapsedconsole.log("The time elapsed in millisecond is: " + A); |
The time elapsed in millisecond is: 1702447051020
Example 2: This example illustrates getting the current date using the Date.now() method.
Javascript
// Use of Date.now() methodlet d = Date(Date.now());// Converting the number of millisecond// in date stringa = d.toString()// Printing the current dateconsole.log("The current date is: " + a) |
The current date is: Wed Dec 13 2023 05:57:31 GMT+0000 (Coordinated Universal Time)
