The toString()
method returns a string representing the specified Date object.
dateObj.toString()
None.
The Date object overrides the toString()
method of the Object object; it does not inherit Object.prototype.toString(). For Date objects, the toString()
method returns a string representation of the object.
The toString()
method always returns a string representation of the date in American English.
JavaScript calls the toString()
method automatically when a date is to be represented as a text value or when a date is referred to in a string concatenation.
toString()
is a generic method. If this
is not a Date instance, it returns "Invalid Date".

value of a Date object to myVar
