The Date object is a data type built into the JavaScript language. Date objects are created with the new Date( ) as shown below.
Once a Date object is created, a number of methods allow you to operate on it. Most methods simply allow you to get and set the year, month, day, hour, minute, second, and millisecond fields of the object, using either local time or UTC (universal, or GMT) time.
The toLocaleString() function of the date object returns the date of the current date (including time).
Syntax
Its Syntax is as follows
dateObj.toLocaleString()
