- Then we create script tag, which is paired tag. and write our JavaScript codes under this tag.
- Here, we create a function that runs on button click and inside this function, we get full date with help of date function and store in it date_here.
- Then we again create a variable getYear and store current date or say extract current year from date_here with help of getFullYear() function.
- Now, our last job is to print this stored year. So, we use our paragraph with help of id and print date with help of inner.HTML. We hope that you understand this article properly.
