 *
 * @param {Date|Number} dateLeft - the first date to compare
 * @param {Date|Number} dateRight - the second date to compare
 * @returns {Number} the result of the comparison
 * @throws {TypeError} 2 arguments required

 * @example
 * // Compare 11 February 1987 and 10 July 1989:
 * const result = compareAsc(new Date(1987, 1, 11), new Date(1989, 6, 10))
 * //=> -1
 *
 * @example
 * // Sort the array of dates:
 * const result = [
 *   new Date(1995, 6, 2),
 *   new Date(1987, 1, 11),
 *   new Date(1989, 6, 10)
 * ].sort(compareAsc)
 * //=> [
