1
00:00:01,980 --> 00:00:08,300
OK, here we are and where else are starting the program, so let's just try a few things with dates.

2
00:00:09,510 --> 00:00:21,840
So let's take a couple of examples from the slide and I'll say let day one equals new date one, slash

3
00:00:21,840 --> 00:00:23,370
one, slash twenty twenty two.

4
00:00:25,710 --> 00:00:30,930
And as you can probably guess, one slash, one slash twenty twenty two is local specific.

5
00:00:31,650 --> 00:00:35,100
So it may run differently depending upon the locale.

6
00:00:36,630 --> 00:00:42,360
So if you really want to be specific, you probably want to put it in more of a standard format like

7
00:00:42,360 --> 00:00:51,570
twenty twenty two, dash one, dash one, and then we can do the same sort of thing and say let the

8
00:00:51,570 --> 00:00:56,970
two equals a new date.

9
00:00:58,260 --> 00:00:59,760
Twenty, twenty two.

10
00:01:01,860 --> 00:01:11,220
We'll say oh two, we'll tell it, we'll just say two and 15 again.

11
00:01:11,220 --> 00:01:14,730
You might think that this is going to be February 15th, but it's really March 15th.

12
00:01:16,890 --> 00:01:19,140
So I'll put these and see what we got.

13
00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:26,460
So I'm going to say council that log date one and I'm going to type update one.

14
00:01:30,060 --> 00:01:35,100
And let's just copy this and do the same thing for day two.

15
00:01:42,940 --> 00:01:43,840
So let's run that.

16
00:01:49,540 --> 00:01:59,110
So run hello, world, and we'll get December 31st, 2021, 1900, GMT minus five, so we specified

17
00:01:59,110 --> 00:02:04,630
20, 22, 101, but it took that to mean UTC date.

18
00:02:05,530 --> 00:02:07,330
So subtract the five hours from it.

19
00:02:08,530 --> 00:02:12,340
And then 2022 to 15 two is really March, as I said.

20
00:02:13,300 --> 00:02:18,420
So it took that to mean the local time for this particular constructor.

21
00:02:18,940 --> 00:02:24,780
So you can see that it's saying that it's March 15th at midnight GMT minus four hundred.

22
00:02:25,750 --> 00:02:32,050
So if we converted that back to UTC time, that would be March 16th at 4:00 in the morning.

23
00:02:34,140 --> 00:02:40,470
Now, there's some two methods, like two string methods to let us output this in a little bit more

24
00:02:40,470 --> 00:02:48,390
of a format so I can say cancel that log date one.

25
00:02:50,220 --> 00:02:56,910
And there's there's two date string, which just outputs the date part to time string, which just outputs

26
00:02:56,910 --> 00:02:57,920
the time part.

27
00:02:58,670 --> 00:03:05,000
There's a local string which outputs it for your particular locale, your your area or geographic location.

28
00:03:05,700 --> 00:03:06,840
So let's make use of that.

29
00:03:18,350 --> 00:03:27,650
And you can see here, I put it, using United States format 12, 31, 20, 21, 7:00 p.m. So the United

30
00:03:27,650 --> 00:03:32,330
States program are used for a 12 hour time.

31
00:03:33,380 --> 00:03:39,710
So converted it from the nineteen hundred to the seven p.m. and you can see that it's five hours before

32
00:03:40,070 --> 00:03:41,100
what we specified.

33
00:03:41,630 --> 00:03:47,890
So what this tells us is that what we specified up here in the new date gives us a standard time format.

34
00:03:47,900 --> 00:03:51,170
So it's at that Greenwich Mean Time or that UTC time.

35
00:03:54,950 --> 00:03:56,480
So let's do a couple of methods.

36
00:03:58,460 --> 00:04:00,050
So, for example, I can say

37
00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:10,670
date one that get month, because this is the confusing one.

38
00:04:12,410 --> 00:04:13,430
So what's up with that?

39
00:04:17,280 --> 00:04:26,580
And day one is the January one, but remember, it came out in December and our local time, so it's

40
00:04:26,580 --> 00:04:28,590
comes out as 11, which is December.

41
00:04:30,990 --> 00:04:36,690
And same thing, if we do the get here, it's going to be the wrong year because of the time conversion.

42
00:04:38,580 --> 00:04:46,240
And all of this is what makes the dates in general when kept for years confusing.

43
00:04:47,580 --> 00:04:50,250
And again, I would highly recommend that you look at moment.

44
00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:50,810
Yes.

45
00:04:50,820 --> 00:04:53,880
Or another JavaScript library to help with those.

46
00:04:59,070 --> 00:05:07,160
So even though we made it in 2022 because it got pulled back to December because of the time zone is

47
00:05:07,170 --> 00:05:07,920
20 21.

48
00:05:10,890 --> 00:05:15,060
All right, so that is all I'm going to do with dates for right now, we'll probably use a couple examples

49
00:05:15,060 --> 00:05:22,680
as we move forward and I'll put a link to the moment that G.S. website for you to look at in the notes.
