There are 4 ways of instantiating a Date object in java script:
new Date() new Date(milliseconds) new Date(dateString) new Date(year, month, day, hours, minutes, seconds, milliseconds)
*Using new Date(), creates a new date object with the current date and time
I think that the last one is probably the one that you would be wanting to use. There is a lot of documentation that you could have searched to help find this, specifically "W3schools". That is a great beginner (and even not beginner) go to site for things like this. Check out this Information about the date class that you need.
I hope this helps!
