JavaScript Date [53 exercises with solution]
JavaScript date object is used to create dates and times. Date objects are based on a time value that is the number of milliseconds since 1 January, 1970 UTC.
Constructor :
new Date(); new Date(value); new Date(dateString); new Date(year, month[, day[, hour[, minute[, second[, millisecond]]]]]);
[An editor is available at the bottom of the page to write and execute the scripts.]

JavaScript: Tips of the Day
Applies a function against an accumulator and each key in the object (from left to right)
Example:
const transform = (obj, fn, acc) => Object.keys(obj).reduce((a, k) => fn(a, obj[k], k, obj), acc);
console.log(transform(
{ a: 1, b: 2, c: 1 },
(r, v, k) => {
(r[v] || (r[v] = [])).push(k);
return r;
},
{}
)); // { '1': ['a', 'c'], '2': ['b'] }
Output:
[object Object] {
1: ["a", "c"],
2: ["b"]
}
