Calculates the difference (in hours) between two dates.
- Subtract the two `Date` objects and divide by the number of milliseconds in an hour to get the difference (in hours) between them.
```js
const getHoursDiffBetweenDates = (dateInitial, dateFinal) =>
(dateFinal - dateInitial) / (1000 * 3600);
```
```js
getHoursDiffBetweenDates(
new Date('2021-04-24 10:25:00'),
new Date('2021-04-25 10:25:00')
); // 24
```
