How to reduce the complexity of this if else statements in Javascript?

Question

I have the below scenario which has multiple if else conditions.

The cyclomatic complexity of the below code is showing as 7.

Is there a better way to write the below code snippet using Javascript which reduces the complexity of the code ?

function setTime() {

var currentTime = "3/4/2020, 2:53:42 PM"
var selectedTime = "3/5/2020, 2:53:42 PM"

if( Date.parse(currentTime) < Date.parse(selectedTime)) {
    callThisMethod('Current time less than selected time');
} else if (Date.parse(currentTime) > Date.parse(selectedTime)) {
    callThisMethod('Current time Greater than selected time');
} else {
    callThisMethod('Current time is equal to selected time');
}
}

function callThisMethod(message) {
 console.log(message);
}

setTime();

Answer 1

One of the possible options:

const currentTime = new Date("3/4/2020, 2:53:42 PM"),
      selectedTime = new Date("3/5/2020, 2:53:42 PM")

callThisMethod(`Current time is ${currentTime < selectedTime ? 'less than' : currentTime > selectedTime ? 'greater than' : 'equal to'} selected time`)
