I have two strings:
1387050870
and
2012-12-15
How can i calculate the difference between these two dates in weeks (52)?
I tried Math.round(1387050870-(Math.round(new Date('2012-12-15').getTime()/1000))/604800)
, but that doesn't seem to work.
The JavaScript Date object accepts milliseconds as its constructor, so convert first then try:
var a = new Date(1387050870 * 1000);
var b = new Date("2012-12-15");
var weeks = Math.round((a-b)/ 604800000);
Which makes weeks
2239, which sounds close, since b is almost 43 years later * 52 weeks.
Try this:
var date1 = new Date(1387050870 * 1000);
var date2 = new Date("2012-12-15");
var dif = Math.round(date1-date2);
alert(Math.round(dif/1000/60/60/24/7));
Here it is on jsfiddle!
