const timeInMilliseconds = Date.now();
console.log(timeInMilliseconds); // 1593765214488
const time = new Date;
// get day of the month
const date = time.getDate();
console.log(date); // 30
// get day of the week
const year = time.getFullYear();
console.log(year); // 2020
const utcDate = time.getUTCDate();
console.log(utcDate); // 30
const event = new Date('Feb 19, 2020 23:15:30');
// set the date
event.setDate(15);
console.log(event.getDate()); // 15
// Only 28 days in February!
event.setDate(35);
console.log(event.getDate()); // 7
