Gets the number of days in the given `month` of the specified `year`.
|
|
|
|
- Use the `Date` constructor to create a date from the given `year` and `month`.
|
|
- Set the days parameter to `0` to get the last day of the previous month, as months are zero-indexed.
|
|
- Use `Date.prototype.getDate()` to return the number of days in the given `month`.
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
const daysInMonth = (year, month) => new Date(year, month, 0).getDate();
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
daysInMonth(2020, 12)); // 31
|
|
daysInMonth(2024, 2)); // 29
|
|
```
