You can create a new Date object in the following ways.
If you run Date() constructor without the new operator, it will return the current date and time as a string.
Date();
'Wed Jan 11 2023 00:26:59 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time)'Date(12);
'Wed Jan 11 2023 00:42:01 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time)'The Date object takes the midnight at the beginning of January 1, 1970, UTC as the “beginning of the time”. Therefore if you pass
new Date(0);
