How to add number of days to today's date?

I'm confused, I found so many different approaches, and which of them is actually correct?

So what is the correct way to add day(s) to a given Date?

Answer 1

date.setTime( date.getTime() + days * 86400000 ); 

Answer 2

Note : Use it if calculating / adding days from current date.

Be aware: this answer has issues (see comments)

var myDate = new Date(); myDate.setDate(myDate.getDate() + AddDaysHere); 

It should be like

var newDate = new Date(date.setTime( date.getTime() + days * 86400000 ));
