how to display the current time minutes in times in 2 digits

🤖 SheCodes Athena says:

Answered in 2.47 seconds

To display the current time minutes in two digits you can use the toLocaleString() method in JavaScript. Here is an example code block:

javascript
Copy code
const date = new Date(); const minutes = date.getMinutes().toString().padStart(2, '0'); console.log(minutes);

In this example, we first create a new Date object to get the current date and time. We then use the getMinutes() method to get the current minutes. To make sure the minutes are displayed in two digits, we call the toString() method on the minutes and then use the padStart() method to add a leading zero if necessary. Finally, we log the minutes to the console.

How do I get the current time and day

🤖 SheCodes Athena says:

Answered in 7.85 seconds

To get the current time and day, you can use the Date object in JavaScript. The Date object provides a method called toLocaleString() that returns the current time and date as a string in a local time zone. You can call this method to get the current time and day as follows:

javascript
Copy code
const currentDate = new Date().toLocaleString(); console.log(currentDate);

This will output the current date and time in your local time zone in a string format.

Example output: 9/29/2021, 6:20:30 PM

You can customize the output format further by passing in options to this method. You can learn more about the Date object here: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Date

👩‍💻 Technical question

You can use the toLocaleString() function to get a localized version of a date as a string. This can be used to produce output strings with ordinal numbers, depending on the provided locale.

For example, in JavaScript you can get a localized version of a Date object that includes ordinal numbers for the day, like this:

javascript
Copy code
var date = new Date(); var localized = date.toLocaleString('en-US', { day: 'numeric', month: 'short', year: 'numeric' }); console.log(localized); // e.g. 11/Dec/2019

👩‍💻 Technical question

how to format number in K style (javascript)?

🤖 SheCodes Athena says:

Answered in 12.73 seconds

In JavaScript, you can use the toLocaleString() method [1] to format numbers into the 'K' style. This method allows you to use the Internationalization API [2] to localize numbers.

javascript
Copy code
var num = 54321; // To format the number so it has commas in the correct position, // and to express it in thousands: var ans = num.toLocaleString('en-US', { style: 'decimal', maximumFractionDigits : 0, minimumFractionDigits: 0, useGrouping: true }); console.log("Formatted to 'K': "+ ans); // 54,321

👩‍💻 Technical question

how to display country specific time zone time in my code?

🤖 SheCodes Athena says:

Answered in 5.49 seconds

Using the Date object in JavaScript, one can display the country specific time zone time. The toLocaleString method in the Date object can take a second argument which is a options object that can take a timeZone where one can specify the specific time zone.

For example, to display the time zone time for the US East Coast:

js
Copy code
let date = new Date(); let options = {timeZone: 'America/New_York'}; let eastCoastTime = date.toLocaleString('en-US', options);

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:

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. 👩‍💻🤝💻
