How can I get the Date from year and how much total days have passed?

I have two variables,

let year = 2003;
let passedDays = 275;

I need to get the Date as 2003-10-02 from those two variables. How can I do it without writing a hundred lines of if statements.
Thanks in advance.

Build a date object with the given year, for January, the first, then add the needed days :

let year = 2003;
let passedDays = 275;

// note that months starts with zero
//                        |
//                        V
let date = new Date(year, 0, 1);
// Make sure passedDays is a number, not a string containing a number,
// otherwise you'll get wrong result (string concat)
//                            |
//                            V
date.setDate(date.getDate() + +passedDays);

console.log(date);
