Example: Convert Date to Number
// program to convert date to number
// create date
const d1 = new Date();
console.log(d1);
// converting to number
const result = d1.getTime();
console.log(result);

In the above example, the new Date() constructor is used to create a date object.
The new Date() gives the current date and time.
const d1 = new Date();
console.log(d1); // Mon Nov 09 2020 10:52:32 GMT+0545 (Nepal Time)
To convert the name to a number, we use the getTime() method.
The getTime() method returns the number of milliseconds from midnight of January 1, 1970 (EcmaScript epoch) to the specified date.
const d1 = new Date().getTime();
console.log(d1); // 1604898452084
