When writing a script to do calculations on a date, what is the difference in the different methods? Such as "dateObj.getDate()" and "dateObj.setDate()". In looking at a table listing the different methods, it doesn't really explain the difference between the "get" and "set". At least not in the chapter I'm currently working in.

'get' will return the current value of date and 'set' will allow you to set a new value. That's pretty typical of all 'get' and 'set' functions.

well,
getDate will Get the date and setDate will Set the date

I thought that was probably the case, but I hate to assume anything. That usually just gets me in trouble
