Javascript Date setUTCFullYear(year)

Introduction

Javascript Date setUTCFullYear(year) sets the year of the UTC date.

The year must be given with four digits (2019 instead of just 19). 

dateObj.setUTCFullYear(yearValue[, monthValue[, dayValue]])

Parameters

  • yearValue - An integer specifying the numeric value of the year, for example, 1995.
  • monthValue Optional. An integer between 0 and 11 representing the months January through December.
  • dayValue Optional. An integer between 1 and 31 representing the day of the month. If you specify the dayValue parameter, you must also specify the monthValue.

Return value

The number of milliseconds between 1 January 1970 00:00:00 UTC and the updated date.

If a parameter is outside of the expected range, setUTCFullYear() updates the date accordingly.

For example, if you specify 15 for monthValue, the year is incremented by 1 (yearValue + 1), and 3 is used for the month. 

var d = new Date();
console.log(d);//from   w  ww.j av  a  2s  . c  o  m
d.setUTCFullYear(1997);
console.log(d);

Set the date to November 3, 2020: 

var d = new Date();
d.setUTCFullYear(2020, 10, 3);//ww  w .ja v  a  2 s  . c  o m
console.log(d);

Set the date to six months ago, UTC time: 

var d = new Date();
d.setUTCFullYear(d.getUTCFullYear(), d.getUTCMonth() - 6);
console.log(d);// w  w  w.j a  v  a  2s.  co  m
