Javascript get week, wrong week number

Question

got this get week script

    var d = new Date("2015-10-19T18:29:27.359Z");
    d.setHours(0,0,0);
    d.setDate(d.getDate()+4-(d.getDay()||7));
   var week = Math.ceil((((d-new Date(d.getFullYear(),0,1))/8.64e7))/7);
console.log(week);

should return 43 (week number of 19/10) but it returns 42

var d = new Date("2015-10-26T18:29:27.359Z");

returns week 44 as it should

looks likes it jumps over week 43?

When you say *"got this week script"*, does that mean you wrote it? Or does it mean you found it somewhere on the internet and now want us to debug it for you? — , Nov 01 '15 at 18:42
This script is not reliable because it doesn't take into account TimeZones and changes in DST. — derpirscher, May 27 '22 at 16:08

If you check this reference:

You will see it says week is zero-based

Instead of calculating it manually: use week input

var elm = document.createElement('input')
elm.type = 'week'
elm.valueAsDate = new Date('2015-10-19T18:29:27.359Z')
var week = elm.value.slice(6)

console.log(week)

What if one has to do this in nodejs and not in the browser? – derpirscher May 27 '22 at 15:30
