JavaScript Date getHours() Method
The JavaScript Date.getHours() method is used to retrieve the hour value of a date object according to the local time. The return value will be an integer between 0 and 23 representing the hour according to the local time zone.
If the Date object is created with no arguments, it returns the current hour in the local time zone. If the Date object is created with a specific date and time, it returns the hour component of that date in the local time zone. If the Date object is invalid, it returns NaN (Not-a-Number).
