For loop Datetime and push to the array

Hey guys!!! I was wondering how to push the datetime item into an array? The format like this:

This is a number item: 1567221430. First I need to convert this number to Datetime like this: var d = new Date(1567221430); The method is succeed.

But thats not what i want, i want to push the datetime item into an array, and also the format should like this:"yyyy/mm/dd". This is the format that i want to push to array. But i dont know how to achieve this. And also, i dont want to push single item, i want to push a lot of datetime item. I know i should use for loop, but i dont know how to use......

So, please someone can help me out and thank you so much!

So, you have a lot of numbers and you have to convert them all into dates to put into an array? I would do it like this.

First, make an array with all your numbers (e.g.), and an array for the final dates.

var numberArr = [42142412, 1251235523, 12341253, 1235123513];
var dateArr = [];

Then loop through that array. for (i = 0; i < numberArr; i++) {};

Then there's 3 steps:

  1. Within this loop, you're gonna have to convert the numberArr[i] to a Date format
  2. Then convert this to the markup you want to use
  3. Then add that new variable to the dateArr

Hope this helps you!
