JavaScript Date getDate() Method
Below is the example of Date getDate() method.
- Example:
javascript
<script> // Here a date has been assigned // while creating Date object var dateobj = new Date('October 13, 1996 05:35:32'); // date of the month from above Date Object is // being extracted using getDate() var B = dateobj.getDate(); // Printing date of the month document.write(B);</script> |

13
The date.getDate() method is used to fetch the date of a month from a given Date object.
Syntax:
DateObj.getDate()
Parameter: This method does not takes any parameter. It is just used along with a Date Object from which we want to fetch the date of the month.
Return values: It returns the date of the month for the given date.The date of the month is an integer value ranging from 1 to 31.
Note: The DateObj is a valid Date object created using Date() conctructor from which we want to fetch date.
More codes for the above method are as follows:
Example1: The date of the month should must lie in between 1 to 31 because none of the month have date greater than 31 that is why it returns NaN i.e, not a number because date for the month does not exist.
javascript
<script> // Here a date has been assigned // while creating Date object var dateobj = new Date('October 33, 1996 05:35:32'); // date of the month given above date object // is being extracted using getDate(). var B = dateobj.getDate(); // Printing date of the month. document.write(B);</script> |
Output:
NaN
Example 2: If date of the month is not given, by default it returns 1. It is an exception case.
javascript
<script> // Here a date has been assigned // while creating Date object var dateobj = new Date('October 1996 05:35:32'); // date of the month from above date object // is extracted using getDate() var B = dateobj.getDate(); // Printing date of the month document.write(B);</script> |
Output:
1
Example 3: If nothing as parameter is given to the Date constructor, then the function returns current date of the month.
javascript
<script> // Creating Date Object var dateobj = new Date(); // date of the month from above object // is being extracted using getDate(). var B = dateobj.getDate(); // Printing current date document.write(B);</script> |
Output:
21
