# Examples

// an object of Date type is created
var obj = new Date('November 4, 2001 09:24:21');

console.log("DAY: " + obj.getUTCDate());

The function returns the current date as an integer in the above snippet of code, and it is printed on the console.




// an object of Date type is created
var obj = new Date();
console.log("CURRENT DAY: " + obj.getUTCDate());
