Is there any way to findout system on time in between the certain timeslot,like morning 9’o clock to evening 4’o clock

I'm not sure I understand what you are trying to do? How is your question different from get the time between two events?

[@umangternate]

Thank you for the tutorial. Can we apply it when users move to other page? I am creating a small app for training. I want it to get the initial time (entry time) and then create the exit time and send repot to backend then open the page that the user was heading to.

You can try the onbeforeunload event for the body tag. See if that will work for you to figure the time on page.

[@sriharsha1150]

const tick = Date.now();
const log = (v) => console.log(`${v}
Elapsed: ${Date.now() - tick}`);
We can just add this to find time elapsed

Can you help me develop a script where I can calculate elapsed time?
