Description
The toString() method returns a date object as a string.
Note
Every JavaScript object has a toString() method.
The toString() method is used internally by JavaScript
when an object needs to be displayed as a text (like in HTML),
or when an object needs to be used as a string.
Normally, you will not use it in your own code.
