How to get number of days from two date objects for the following date format

Question

New to Javascript and learning about the Date object. I am working on an excercise that gives me two date objects, and I would like to get the number of days between them. To do this I will take the endate - startdate. How can I go about doing this since the dates are in this format below.

Edit1: I have looked at the previous asked questions but they don't answer how to format the dates I am asking.

startdate => 2019-04-01T04:00:00.000Z
endate => 2019-04-08T04:00:00.000Z

You can convert to Date because the strings follow the ISO 8601 format, subtract and finally calculate the days.

let startdate = "2019-04-01T04:00:00.000Z";
let endate = "2019-04-08T04:00:00.000Z";
let days = (new Date(endate) - new Date(startdate)) / 1000 / 60 / 60 / 24;

console.log(days);
