Gets the day of the year (number in the range 1-366) from a `Date` object.
- Use the `Date` constructor and `Date.prototype.getFullYear()` to get the first day of the year as a `Date` object.
- Subtract the first day of the year from `date` and divide with the milliseconds in each day to get the result.
- Use `Math.floor()` to appropriately round the resulting day count to an integer.
```js
const dayOfYear = date =>
Math.floor((date - new Date(date.getFullYear(), 0, 0)) / 1000 / 60 / 60 / 24);
```
```js
dayOfYear(new Date()); // 272
```
