I know that a sample date object in javascript is constructed from a string containing the year, month and day. I am building a function that takes a date and number of days as arguments and adds the days to the date and returns a new date object from the same. The approach i used is this:
a) Get the milliseconds from the date object
b) Convert the days to milliseconds
c) Add the two and then derive a date object from the resultant sum. I need a way to get back to the date from the milliseconds. Thank You for your help
function AddDays(x,y){
//convert the days to milliseconds
let days_milli=y*24*60*60*1000;
//get the time in millis from the date
let days_millis=x.getTime();
//add the times
let total=days_milli+days_millis;
//construct a date object from that
//this line needs some help
let date=getDate(total);
return date;
}
Looks like the Date class constructor has overloads to support construction of objects from a string and milliseconds. All i needed to do was to invoke new Date and then put the milliseconds in the parameter part.
function AddDays(x,y){
//convert the days to milliseconds
let days_milli=y*24*60*60*1000;
//get the time in millis from the datw
let days_millis=x.getTime();
//add the times
let total=days_milli+days_millis;
//construct a date object from that
let date=new Date(total);
return date;
}
