Explanation:

Step1: Get the month

The getMonth() function gives the month number (0 - 11). For "World Wide Web born" (new Date(1989, 2, 1)), interestingDate.getMonth() returns 2. But in the required M/DD/YYYY format (where month numbering starts from 1 in the output), we add 1. So the month is \(2 + 1=3\).

Step2: Get the day

The getDate() function gives the day. For "World Wide Web born", interestingDate.getDate() returns 1.

Step3: Get the year

The getFullYear() function gives the 4 - digit year. For "World Wide Web born", interestingDate.getFullYear() returns 1989.

Answer:

console.log((interestingDate.getMonth() + 1) + '/' + interestingDate.getDate() + '/' + interestingDate.getFullYear());
