Work with Dates in JavaScript
Describe how JavaScript dates are stored and displayed.
Extract components from a date object using JavaScript Date Get Methods.
Modify a JavaScript date object using Date Set Methods.
By the end of this project, you will have learned to create and manipulate date objects in JavaScript. You will work with dates by using Date Get methods to isolate and use portions of a date—like month and year—and Date Set methods to set portions of a date to specific values. Since dates are often critical pieces of data, the ability to control them is an essential skill for any JavaScript programmer. Note: This course works best for learners who are based in the North America region. We’re currently working on providing the same experience in other regions.
