| 12. 13. 1. Date.getTime() |
|
|
The getTime() method returns the equivalence of the Date object in milliseconds. |
The milliseconds are expressed as an integer representing the number of milliseconds between midnight January 1, 1970 (GMT) to the date and time specified in the Date object. |
It is much easier to compare two different dates as milliseconds by using the getTime() method, rather than having to examine the individual parts of the date. |
