The date object stores the date, time and provides methods for date or time management. There are many ways to create a date object in JavaScript.

• var my_date = new Date(). This stores the current date in a variable called my_date.Now we can access all the methods of the date object from the "my_date" variable.
• var times = new Date(milliseconds). It creates an object with the time equal to the number of milliseconds (1/1000 of a second) passed after the Jan 1st of 1970 UTC+0.
• var my_date = new Date(dateString). Eg: my_date = new Date("2022-01-01");
• var my_date = new Date(year, month, day, hours, minutes, seconds, milliseconds).
