    In the above example, the differenceInWeeks function is called by passing two date objects as arguments, and the returned value is stored in the weeksDifference variable.

    Note that the order of the dates passed as arguments is important. The resulting value will be positive if the endDate is greater than the startDate and negative if the startDate is greater than the endDate.

    Also, make sure that the dates are valid JavaScript Date objects. If the dates are invalid, the function will throw a TypeError.
