I am trying to display a number for years of service on a website. Essentially I thought I could put in a start date and current date to have an output of the years in between.
I can gt the current year using the following code but am unsure how to calculate the deference
document.write(2010) + (/\d{4}/.exec(Date())[0])Just subtract 2010 from the current year and concatenate the string:
document.write((/\d{4}/.exec(Date())[0]) - 2010 + ' years of service')Although an easier way to get the year is to use Date.getFullYear():
document.write(new Date().getFullYear() - 2010 + ' years of service')You can use Date functions to extract components of time.
To get year you can use something like:
today = new Date();
year = today.getFullYear();
To calculate difference between years (year value is number):
d = year - 2010;
You can get like this
document.write(new Date().getFullYear() - 2010)document.write(new Date().getFullYear() - 2010)
