I am trying to add 7 days to the entire date object, but it does not work. I keep getting the same date plus the number I am trying to add at the end.

   var d = new Date();
    for(var i = 0; i < 5; i++) {
      var dat = new Date(this.valueOf());
      dat.setDate(dat.getDate() + i);
      console.log(dat);
    }

The `+` in your expression will convert both arguments to string, so it is a string concatenation you are doing. – trincot Feb 24 '17 at 21:09
I don't want to do getDate or getDay, instead I need to grab the whole entire date object – joethemow Feb 24 '17 at 21:11
Try `d.addDays(i)` – Tyler Roper Feb 24 '17 at 21:13
addDays would be undefined, if you are referring to the link marked as duplicate, that will not work because that returns the just the day I need the whole date object – joethemow Feb 24 '17 at 21:15
var newDates = d + 86400 * i – KeySee Feb 24 '17 at 21:15
Still does string concatenation – joethemow Feb 24 '17 at 21:17
The referred to answer returns a date object ("an entire date object"). – trincot Feb 24 '17 at 21:25
I updated my code, but I get the error `Invalid Date ` – joethemow Feb 24 '17 at 21:33
Your questions is quite unclear. What is `this` in `this.valueOf()`? What's the point of declaring `d = new Date()`? Why is there a loop? Why can't you do `var dat = new Date(); dat.setDate(dat.getDate() + 7); console.log(dat);`, as indicated in the duplicate? – Heretic Monkey Feb 24 '17 at 21:47
