Date.prototype.getTime()
The getTime() method of Date instances returns the number of milliseconds for this date since the epoch, which is defined as the midnight at the beginning of January 1, 1970, UTC.
Date objects are fundamentally represented by a timestamp, and this method allows you to retrieve the timestamp. You can use this method to help assign a date and time to another Date object. This method is functionally equivalent to the valueOf() method.
Return value: A number representing the timestamp, in milliseconds, of this date. Returns NaN if the date is invalid.
Syntax example: getTime()
