why im i getting errors

[Guest]

why Am I getting errors with this code?

I don't understand why!

var rightNow = new Date();

var msRightNow = rightNow.getTime();

var fiveDays = 5 * 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000;

var theNewDate = new Date(finalTime);

console.println("5 days from now is: " + theNewDate.toString());

First of all, I moved your question to the JavaScript forum.

I don't see any errors in this code, but it is not set up to work correctly.

You need to add the fiveDays value to the msRightNow value if you want to get the date for five days from now.

So the fourth line should be:

var theNewDate = new Date(msRightNow + finalTime);

Sorry, I do see an error now. You didn't define the finalTime variable anywhere. I think you meant to do something like this:

var rightNow = new Date();
var msRightNow = rightNow.getTime();
var fiveDays = 5 * 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000;
var finalTime = msRightNow + fiveDays;
var theNewDate = new Date(finalTime);
console.println("5 days from now is: " + theNewDate.toString());

not sure if Im setup correctly, but everything I seem to enter into the console I get errors!

The code I posted above works. If you're getting an error running it from the console post the complete error message here.

var rightNow = new Date();

var msRightNow = rightNow.getTime();

var fiveDays = 5 * 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000;

var theNewDate = new Date(finalTime);

console.println("5 days from now is: " + theNewDate.toString());

ReferenceError: finalTime is not defined

undefined

That's not the code I provided.

I don’t see finalTime defined anywhere in that code – so that error makes sense.

[Guest]

how do I define the code Staff so I know Im setup correctly please?

[lrosenth]

Where is this code? How it is being called? What errors?

And what does this have to do with the SDK?
