JavaScript Explanation
js/app.js
When the application is loaded, the clock() function is called every 1 seconds (1000 ms) by this statement:
setInterval(clock, 1000);
The clock() function is used to display the current date and time. First, it gets the current time (hour, minute and second) and then display the images (digit image) according to the time. Next, it gets the current date (day, month and year) and then display it in the format as defined in renderDay() and renderMonth() functions. Here is content of the clock() function:
function clock() {
    // (3) Obtain "figure" class(image of the number)
    var figures = document.getElementsByClassName('figure');
    // (4) Obtain the "date" ID (Date display area)
    var date = document.getElementById('date');
​
    // (5) Obtain the current time
    var now = new Date();
​
    // (6) Set the digits for the hours
    figures[0].src = 'images/figure-' + tendigit(now.getHours()) + '.png';
    figures[1].src = 'images/figure-' + onedigit(now.getHours()) + '.png';
​
    // (7) Set the digits for the minutes
    figures[2].src = 'images/figure-' + tendigit(now.getMinutes()) + '.png';
    figures[3].src = 'images/figure-' + onedigit(now.getMinutes()) + '.png';
​
    // (7) Set the digits for the seconds
    figures[4].src = 'images/figure-' + tendigit(now.getSeconds()) + '.png';
    figures[5].src = 'images/figure-' + onedigit(now.getSeconds()) + '.png';
​
    // (8) Display the date
    date.textContent = renderDay(now.getDay()) + ", " + renderMonth(now.getMonth()) + " " + now.getDate() + ", " + now.getFullYear();
