Compare two dates using JavaScript
In JavaScript, we can compare two dates by converting them into numeric value to corresponding to its time. First, we can convert the Date into a numeric value by using getTime() function. By converting the given dates into numeric value we can directly compare them.
Example-1:
<script> // Current Date var g1 = new Date(); var g2 = new Date(); if (g1.getTime() === g2.getTime()) document.write("Both are equal"); else document.write("Not equal"); javascript: ; </script> |
Output:
Both are equal
Example-2:
<script> var g1 = new Date(); // (YYYY-MM-DD) var g2 = new Date(2019 - 08 - 03); if (g1.getTime() < g2.getTime()) document.write("g1 is lesser than g2"); else if (g1.getTime() > g2.getTime()) document.write("g1 is greater than g2"); else document.write("both are equal"); javascript: ; </script> |
Output:
g1 is greater than g2
Example-3:
<script> var g1 = new Date(2019, 08, 03, 11, 45, 55); // (YYYY, MM, DD, Hr, Min, Sec) var g2 = new Date(2019, 08, 03, 10, 22, 42); if (g1.getTime() < g2.getTime()) document.write("g1 is lesser than g2"); else if (g1.getTime() > g2.getTime()) document.write("g1 is greater than g2"); else document.write("both are equal"); javascript: ; </script> |
Output:
g1 is greater than g2
