How to subtract two angularjs date variables

Question

I am fairly new to angularjs, but here it goes. I am able two dates through angularjs in the form dd/mm/yyyy, but what I need to do is somehow subtract the two

Answer 1

you simply convert date into timestamp and then subtract.

var Date1 = 08/16/2004;
var Date2= 10/24/2005;

var timestamp1 = new Date(Date1).getTime();
var timestamp2 = new Date(Date2).getTime();

var diff = timestamp1 - timestamp2


var newDate = new Date (diff);
