Date(millis : Number) Constructs the Date instance using the specified milliseconds. Date(year : Number, month : Number, args : Number...) Constructs the Date instance using the specified year and month. Date(dateString : String) Constructs the Date instance by parsing the specified String. ## Method Summary ### getDate **Signature:** `getDate() : Number` Returns the day of the month where the value
