Date()
object and its getDate()
method to get the current day of the month, getMonth()
method to get the current month (remember that months start from 0, so you need to add 1 to get the actual month number), and getFullYear()
method to get the current year.code Copy code
console.log(new Date().getDate());
Date()
object and its getTime()
method. This method returns the number of milliseconds since January 1, 1970.code Copy code
console.log(new Date().getTime());
Date()
object and its getDay()
method. This method returns an integer representing the day of the week. Remember that it starts from 0 for Sunday.code Copy code
console.log(new Date().getDay());
Date()
object and its getFullYear()
method. This method returns the current year.code Copy code
console.log(new Date().getFullYear());
Date()
object and its getMonth()
method. This method returns an integer representing the month, starting from 0 for January.code Copy code
console.log(new Date().getMonth());
toLocaleString()
method to format the date as desired.code Copy code
const currentDate = new Date();
const day = currentDate.toLocaleString('en-US', { weekday: 'long' });
const month = currentDate.toLocaleString('en-US', { month: 'long' });
const date = currentDate.getDate();
const year = currentDate.getFullYear();
console.log(`Today is ${day}, ${month} ${date}, ${year}`);
formatDate
function as described, you can use similar logic as before to retrieve the current day, month, and year. You can then use template literals to format the date string.javascript Copy code
function formatDate(date) {
const day = date.toLocaleString('en-US', { weekday: 'long' });
const month = date.toLocaleString('en-US', { month: 'long' });
const dateNumber = date.getDate();
const year = date.getFullYear();
return `${day}, ${month} ${dateNumber}, ${year}`;
}
console.log(formatDate(new Date()));
Log the current day and time using JavaScript
javascript Copy code
const currentDate = new Date();
console.log(currentDate);
This code will create a new Date
object and assign it to the currentDate
variable. The console.log
statement will then display the current date and time in the browser console.
how to add current day to h2
To add the current day to an h2
element, you can use JavaScript to get the current date and then set the text of the h2
element to the formatted date string. Here's an example using JavaScript:
javascript Copy code
const h2 = document.querySelector('h2'); // select the h2 element
const today = new Date(); // create a new Date object
const options = { weekday: 'long' }; // set the formatting options to get the full weekday name
const dayOfWeek = today.toLocaleDateString('en-US', options); // format the date as a string with options
h2.textContent = `Today is ${dayOfWeek}`; // set the text of the h2 element to the formatted date string
This code will select the first h2
element on the page (you can change the selector to match your specific HTML structure), get the current date, format the date as a string with the full weekday name, and set the text of the h2
element to the formatted date string.
Log the current day
To log the current day in JavaScript, you can use the Date()
object and its getDay()
method which returns a number corresponding to the current day of the week. Here's an example:
javascript Copy code
const today = new Date();
const dayOfWeek = today.getDay();
console.log(dayOfWeek);
This will output a number between 0 (Sunday) and 6 (Saturday), corresponding to the current day of the week. Note that this is based on the user's system clock and timezone.
👩💻 how to code the current day and current hour and minutes using a function?
To code the current day and current hour and minutes using a function, you can use the built-in Date()
constructor in JavaScript. Here is an example code in JavaScript:
javascript Copy code
function getCurrentDateTime() {
const currentDate = new Date();
const currentDay = currentDate.getDay();
const currentHour = currentDate.getHours();
const currentMinute = currentDate.getMinutes();
return `Today is ${currentDay} and current time is ${currentHour}:${currentMinute}.`;
}
console.log(getCurrentDateTime());
This function would return a string with the current day (as a number from 0 to 6, where 0 is Sunday) and the current time (in hours and minutes). You can modify the string template to suit your needs.
Note that this function is just an example, and you could customize it as you need to for your own purposes. You could also use a library like Moment.js (https://momentjs.com/) to handle more complex date formatting requirements.
How to get current day and time
To get the current day and time in JavaScript, you can use the built-in Date
object.
Here's an example code block in JavaScript:
javascript Copy code
const now = new Date();
const day = now.getDay(); // returns a number representing the day of the week, starting with 0 for Sunday
const hours = now.getHours();
const minutes = now.getMinutes();
console.log(`Today is day ${day} and the time is ${hours}:${minutes}.`);
This will output something like: Today is day 4 and the time is 12:30.
which means it's currently Thursday at 12:30pm.

AI stands for Artificial Intelligence. AI bots are able to learn from conversations with users and expand their knowledge this way.
SheCodes Athena will help you with technical questions about your code using artificial intelligence to find the answer. Imagine a super powerful human who has memorized everything on the internet and can access that knowledge in a matter of seconds. 🤯
SheCodes Athena can answer most coding-related questions, even complicated ones! It can even find bugs in your code and tell you how to fix them in just a few seconds. Impressive, right?
Just remember we're still in testing mode so the AI may return strange or incorrect replies. Feel free to message us if this happens!
SheCodes Athena can only reply to coding-related technical questions. The same type of questions you would ask in the channels on Slack.
For questions that are not coding-related, write us here 😃
You should treat Athena like a SheCodes team member, so always be polite! 😊 Ask your questions as detailed as possible, just like you would do on Slack.
Here are some examples:
- Prettier isn't working on my VS Code. How do I fix this?
- How do I make bullet points with different colors using the list element?
- My code in Codesandbox is having some issues. Can you please tell me what the issue is? [Include the link to your Codesandbox]
For now, SheCodes Athena is limited to 5 questions per day for each student.
In that case, you can either ask SheCodes Athena a follow-up question, or you can post on the designated weekly channel on Slack!
Our technical assistants are still available on Slack and are always happy to help! 😍💪
Remember, questions are limited to 1000 characters.
- If you're working with an HTML file: Post a snippet of your code related to the issue you're having (just copy the code and paste it into the question box).
- If you're working with Codesandbox: Good news, you can just post the link to your Codesandbox and the AI Assistant will be able to view your code.
- If you have a longer question that would require an entire HTML file or more than 1000 characters, post it in the designated weekly channels on Slack! 😃
Athena was the Greek goddess of wisdom, among other elements. She received her name from the city of Athens, which she is known for protecting.
Much like the goddess Athena, SheCodes Athena is also incredibly wise and can solve complicated coding puzzles in a matter of seconds! 😍
Not likely. AI can automate tasks and make developers' jobs more efficient but it can't fully replace the human ability to deal with complex software. And AI will still require human developers to supervise and improve it further.
So developers may see their tasks change but they won't be replaced by AI. 👩💻🤝💻
