Examples
Code Editor (JavaScript)
// A series of ee.DateRange objects.
var dateRange1 = ee.DateRange('2017-06-24', '2017-07-24');
var dateRange2 = ee.DateRange('2017-07-01', '2018-08-24');
// Determine the intersection of two ee.DateRange objects.
print('Intersection of dateRange1 and dateRange2',
dateRange1.intersection(dateRange2));
