1.Log the current date 2.Log the number of milliseconds in the current time 3.Log the current day 4. Log the current year 5.Log the current month 6.Display the current date following the following format: Today is Thursday, April 4, 2020 7.Create a function formatDate which returns a date following this format: Thursday, April 4, 2020 Call this function with the current time Log the result such as console.log(formatDate(new Date()));
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 year
To log the current year in JavaScript, you can use the built-in Date() object to create a new date instance and use the .getFullYear() method to retrieve the current year. Here's an example:
javascript Copy code
const currentYear = new Date().getFullYear();
console.log(currentYear); // logs the current year to the console
Output:
code Copy code
2021 // depending on the current year

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. 👩💻🤝💻
