Im vorherigen Abschnitt haben wir die Datumsmethoden sowie die Konstruktoren besprochen.

Hier lernen wir mithilfe dieser Methoden, Daten zu vergleichen.

Grundsätzlich gibt es verschiedene Möglichkeiten, wie wir Daten vergleichen können, wie zum Beispiel:

1. Zwei Daten miteinander vergleichen.
2. Datum mit Uhrzeit vergleichen.
3. Vergleichen von Daten mit getTime()

Zwei Daten miteinander vergleichen

Beispiel:

 Comparing Dates<br> function compare() { var d1=new Date(&apos;2020-01-23&apos;); //yyyy-mm-dd var d2=new Date(&apos;2020-01-21&apos;); //yyyy-mm-dd if(d1&gt;d2) { document.write(&apos;True, First date is greater than second date&apos;); } else if(d1<d2) { document.write('false, second date is smaller than the first'); } else document.write('both are same and equal'); compare(); invoking compare() < pre> <span> Test it Now </span> <h2>Comparing date with time</h2> <p> <strong>Example 1:</strong> Comparing different dates with different timings</p> <pre> Comparing Date and time<br> var d1=new Date(&apos;Apr 17, 2019 12:10:10&apos;); //mm dd, yyyy hh:mm:ss var d2=new Date(&apos;Dec 1, 2019 12:10:30&apos;); //mm dd, yyyy hh:mm:ss if(d1&gt;d2) { document.write(&apos;False, d1 date and time is smaller than d2 date and time&apos;); } else if(d1<d2) { document.write('true, d2 is greater in terms of both time and date'); } else document.write('both date are same equal'); < pre> <span> Test it Now </span> <p> <strong>Example2:</strong> Comparing same dates with disimilar timings</p> <pre> Comparing same date but different time<br> var d1=new Date(&apos;2018-01-10, 12:10:10&apos;); //yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss var d2=new Date(&apos;2018-01-10, 12:10:50&apos;); //yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss if(d1&gt;d2) { document.write(&apos;False, d1 &amp; d2 dates are same but d2 time is greater than d1 time&apos;); } else if(d1<d2) { document.write('true, d2 time is greater than d1 time.'); } else document.write('both date and are same equal'); < pre> <span> Test it Now </span> <h2>Comparing date with getTime()</h2> <p>A better approach to make comparison between dates is to use <strong>getTime()</strong> function. This function lets converting date into numeric value to directly compare them. </p> <p> <strong>Example1:</strong> Comparing current date and time with a given date and time.</p> <pre> Comparing Dates<br> var d1=new Date(&apos;2019-10-10, 10:10:10&apos;); //yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss var currentdate=new Date(); //fetch the current date value if(d1.getTime()currentdate.getTime()) { document.write(&apos;False&apos;); } else { document.write(&apos;True, equal&apos;); } </pre> <span> Test it Now </span> <p> <strong>Example2:</strong> Comparing two different dates with different timings.</p> <pre> Comparing Dates<br> var d1=new Date(&apos;2019-10-10, 10:10:10&apos;); var d2=new Date(&apos;2019-11-02, 14:19:05&apos;); if(d1.getTime()d2.getTime()) { document.write(&apos;False, d2 date and time are greater than d1&apos;); } else { document.write(&apos;True, d1 and d2 have same time and date&apos;); } </pre> <span> Test it Now </span> <p>Thus, we can compare dates in many possible ways.</p> <h2>Changing Date Format</h2> <p>We can also change or set the format through JavaScript code. The function getFullYear(), GetMonth(), and getDate() allows to set the format of date accordingly.</p> <p> <strong>Example1:</strong> Changing the date format to &apos;yyyy-mm-dd&apos;.</p> <pre> <h3>Changing date format</h3><br> var current_date=new Date(); //fetches current date var set_to=current_date.getFullYear()+&apos;-&apos;+(current_date.getMonth()+1)+&apos;-&apos;+current_date.getDate(); document.write(&apos;The format followed is yyyy-dd-mm: &apos;+set_to); </pre> <span> Test it Now </span> <p>We can also set the date and time format according to our need.</p> <p> <strong>Example2:</strong> Changing the datetime format to &apos;yyyy-dd-mm hh:mm:ss&apos;.</p> <pre> <h3>Changing date format</h3><br> var current_datetime=new Date(); //fetches current date and time var set_to=current_datetime.getFullYear()+&apos;-&apos;+(current_datetime.getMonth()+1)+&apos;-&apos;+current_datetime.getDate()+&apos; &apos;+current_datetime.getHours()+&apos;:&apos;+current_datetime.getMinutes()+&apos;:&apos;+current_datetime.getSeconds(); document.write(&apos;The format followed is yyyy-dd-mm hh:mm:ss : &apos;+set_to); </pre> <span> Test it Now </span> <hr></d2)></pre></d2)></pre></d2)>

Beispiel2: Vergleich zweier verschiedener Termine mit unterschiedlichem Timing.

 Comparing Dates<br> var d1=new Date(&apos;2019-10-10, 10:10:10&apos;); var d2=new Date(&apos;2019-11-02, 14:19:05&apos;); if(d1.getTime()d2.getTime()) { document.write(&apos;False, d2 date and time are greater than d1&apos;); } else { document.write(&apos;True, d1 and d2 have same time and date&apos;); } 

Somit können wir Daten auf viele verschiedene Arten vergleichen.

Datumsformat ändern

Wir können das Format auch über JavaScript-Code ändern oder festlegen. Mit den Funktionen getFullYear(), GetMonth() und getDate() kann das Datumsformat entsprechend eingestellt werden.

Beispiel 1: Ändern des Datumsformats in „JJJJ-MM-TT“.

 <h3>Changing date format</h3><br> var current_date=new Date(); //fetches current date var set_to=current_date.getFullYear()+&apos;-&apos;+(current_date.getMonth()+1)+&apos;-&apos;+current_date.getDate(); document.write(&apos;The format followed is yyyy-dd-mm: &apos;+set_to); 

Wir können auch das Datums- und Uhrzeitformat entsprechend unseren Anforderungen einstellen.

Beispiel2: Ändern des Datum-Uhrzeit-Formats in „jjjj-tt-mm hh:mm:ss“.

 <h3>Changing date format</h3><br> var current_datetime=new Date(); //fetches current date and time var set_to=current_datetime.getFullYear()+&apos;-&apos;+(current_datetime.getMonth()+1)+&apos;-&apos;+current_datetime.getDate()+&apos; &apos;+current_datetime.getHours()+&apos;:&apos;+current_datetime.getMinutes()+&apos;:&apos;+current_datetime.getSeconds(); document.write(&apos;The format followed is yyyy-dd-mm hh:mm:ss : &apos;+set_to);
