In the above example, the new Date() constructor is used to create a date object. Then,
1. The new Date() gives the current date and time.
const date = new Date();
console.log(date);
// Sun Aug 23 2020 10:46:38 GMT+0545 (+0545)
2. The toDateString() method returns the date portion of a date object.
const n = date.toDateString();
console.log(n); // Wed Aug 26 2020
3. The toLocaleTimeString() method returns the time portion of a date object.
const time = date.toLocaleTimeString();
console.log(time); // 1:13:12 PM
