The Date Object for Foil 53
The Date constructor has many forms: today = new Date(); xmas = new Date( 97, 12, 25 ); birthday = new Date( "April 6, 1952" );
  • The Date() constructor may also be used as a function with no arguments
  • Time measured in milliseconds past January 1, 1970 UTC (Universal Coordinated Time)
  • Warning: The Date object is buggy in NN2!
