JavaScript Date Methods as Simple as Possible
JavaScript is not what it used to be when it first came out. It is so much better. So it makes sense that there is so much to learn.
JavaScript is a crucial part of front end development. And if you are anything like me, you don’t know where to go. Thousands of resources to choose from which just makes us anxious and not learn anything. We get stuck in tutorial hell. Some of us may even quit.
Here is something that helped me get better at the JavaScript Date methods. I hope it will help you too. If you want to know more about JavaScript functions or arrays here are the quick and simple articles.
You can use date methods to do things like making a clock(obviously), calculating age, making a sale timer, showing content at a specific time, and much more. Each of these methods use JavaScript Date object and its methods.
So without further ado, let’s begin.
Date Now
This method returns the number of milliseconds elapsed since January 1, 1970 00:00:00 UTC.
Date.now();
//159..........
But why January 1, 1970? Because it is known as UNIX epoch or “epoch date” is the date when the time started for Unix computers. This is marked as 0. Any time since that date is calculated based on the number of seconds elapsed.
Get Time
This method is used to get time in milliseconds since January 1, 1970. The internal clock in JavaScript counts from midnight January 1, 1970.
const time = new Date().getTime();

JavaScript Snake Game Tutorial - Develop a Simple Snake Game
Work on real-time JavaScript Snake game project and become a pro
Snake game is an interesting JavaScript project for beginners. Snake game is a single-player game, which we’ve been playing for a very long time. The game mainly consists of two components – snake and fruit. And we just need to take our snake to the food so that it can eat and grow faster and as the number of fruits eaten increases, the length of snake increases which makes the game more interesting. While moving if the snake eats its own body, then the snake dies and the game ends. Now let’s see how we can create this.
JavaScript Project Prerequisites
To implement the snake game in JavaScript you should have basic knowledge of:
1. Basic concepts of JavaScript
2. HTML
3. CSS
Download Project Code
Before proceeding ahead please download source code of Snake Game: Snake Game in JavaScript
Steps to Build the Project – JavaScript Snake game
1. Create Html file
HTML builds the basic structure. This file contains some basic HTML tags like div, h1, title, etc. also we’ve used bootstrap (CDN is already included).
index.html:
Code:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
<title>DataFlair Snake game</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://stackpath.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/4.5.0/css/bootstrap.min.css" integrity="sha384-9aIt2nRpC12Uk9gS9baDl411NQApFmC26EwAOH8WgZl5MYYxFfc+NcPb1dKGj7Sk" crossorigin="anonymous">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="static/style.css">
</head>
<body>
<div class="container">
<div class ="Jumbotron">
<h1>DataFlair Snake game using vanilla JavaScript</h1>
<h2 class="btn btn-info">
Score: 0
</h2>
<div class="containerCanvas">
<canvas id="canvas" width="500" height="500" class="canvasmain"> </canvas>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<script src="static/fruit.js"></script>
<script src="static/snake.js"></script>
<script src="static/draw.js"></script>
</body>
</html>
We have used simple HTML tags except

JavaScript compound assignment operators
JavaScript is unarguablly one of the most common things you’ll learn when you start programming for the web. Here’s a small post on JavaScript compound assignment operators and how we use them.
The compound assignment operators consist of a binary operator and the simple assignment operator.
The binary operators, work with two operands. For example a+b where + is the operator and the a, b are operands. Simple assignment operator is used to assign values to a variable(s).
It’s quite common to modify values stored in variables. To make this process a little quicker, we use compound assignment operators.
They are:
- +=
- -+
- *=
- /=
You can also check my video tutorial compound assignment operators.
Let’s consider an example. Suppose price = 5 and we want to add ten more to it.
var price = 5;
price = price + 10;
We added ten to price. Look at the repetitive price variable. We could easily use a compound += to reduce this. We do this instead.
price += 5;
Awesome. Isn’t it? What’s the value of price now? Practice and comment below. If you don’t know how to practice check these lessons.
Lets bring down the price by 5 again and display it.
We use console.log command to display what is stored in the variable. It is very help for debugging.
Debugging let’s you find errors or bugs in your code. More on this later.
price -= 5;
console.log(price);
Lets multiply price and show it.
price *=5;
console.log(price);
and finally we will divide it.
price /=5;
console.log(price);
If you have any doubts, comment below.

What is JavaScript?
JavaScript is a client-side scripting language used with HTML (Hypertext Markup Language). JavaScript is an Interpreted / Oriented language called JS in programming language JavaScript code can be run on any normal web browser. To run the code of JavaScript, we have to enable JavaScript of Web Browser. But some web browsers already have JavaScript enabled.
Today almost all websites are using it as web technology, mind is that there is maximum scope in JavaScript in the coming time, so if you want to become a programmer, then you can be very beneficial to learn JavaScript.
JavaScript Hello World Program
In JavaScript, ‘document.write‘ is used to represent a string on a browser.
<script type="text/javascript">
document.write("Hello World!");
</script>
How to comment JavaScript code?
- For single line comment in JavaScript we have to use // (double slashes)
