How to compare JavaScript Date objects?
To compare JavaScript Date objects, we convert the dates to timestamps before we compare them.
For instance, we write
console.log(+startDate2 === +startDate3);
console.log(startDate2.getTime() === startDate3.getTime());
console.log(Number(startDate2) === Number(startDate3));
to use +, getTime or Number to convert the startDate2 and startDate3 date objects into timestamps in milliseconds before we compare them.
Timestamps are integers, so we can compare them with the === operator.
