Question

What is the code for getting the current time?

(a) now = new Date();

(b) var now = new Date();

(c) var now = Date();

(d) var now = new Date(current);

The question was posed to me by my college director while I was bunking the class.

This question is from Embedding JavaScript in HTML topic in portion Server-Side and Client-Side Scripting of JavaScript

Answer 1

Correct answer is (b) var now = new Date();

To explain I would say: Date() is a predefined function in javascript which returns the date in string form. The above code determines the current time and stores it in the variable “now”.
