Returns the date of `n` days from today as a string representation.
- Use `new Date()` and `Date.prototype.getDate()` to get the current time stamp add the number of milliseconds and use it to create a new `Date` object.
- Use `new Date()` to get the current date, `Math.abs()` and `Date.getDate()` to update the date accordingly and set to the result using `Date.setDate()`.
- Use `Date.prototype.toISOString()` to return a string in `yyyy-mm-dd` format.
```js
const daysFromNow = n =>{
let date = new Date(new Date().getTime() + n * 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000);
return date.toISOString().split('T')[0];
const daysFromNow = n => {
let d = new Date();
d.setDate(d.getDate() + Math.abs(n));
return d.toISOString().split('T')[0];
}
```
```js
daysFromNow('5'); // 2020-10-13
daysFromNow(5); // 2020-10-13 (if current date is 2020-10-08)
```
