In this lab, you will code a date conversion program that converts a given date to different formats. For example, the current date Fri Sep 27 2024 16:04:43 GMT+0500 (Pakistan Standard Time) would be formatted in the following 2 ways:
(MM/DD/YYYY): 9/27/2024.(Month Day, Year): September 27, 2024.
Objective: Fulfill the user stories below and get all the tests to pass to complete the lab.
User Stories:

currentDate and assign it the current date and time using the Date object.
- You should create a variable named
currentDateFormat and assign it the string Current Date and Time: [current date]. Replace [current date] with the result of the currentDate variable.
- You should log the value of
currentDateFormat to the console.
- You should create a function named
formatDateMMDDYYYY that takes the date object as a parameter. You can name this parameter whatever you like.
- Your
formatDateMMDDYYYY function should convert the current date to month/day/year format and return the string Formatted Date (MM/DD/YYYY): [month]/[day]/[year].
- You should create a function named
formatDateLong that takes the date object as a parameter.
- Your
formatDateLong function should convert the current date to Month Day, Year format and return the string Formatted Date (Month Day, Year): [formatted date].
