The date.getMinutes() method is used to fetch the minutes from given Date object.

Return Value: It returns the minutes for the given Date Object. Minutes is an integer value ranging from 0 to 59.
More codes for the above method are as follows:
Example 1: Here the date of the month must lie in between 1 to 31 because no date has month greater than 31 that is why it returns NaN i.e, not a number because the date for the month does not exist, minutes will not exist when date of the month is given as 33 i.e, greater than 31.
<script> // Here a date has been assigned // while creating a Date object var DateObj = new Date( 'October 35, 1996 05:35:32' ); // minutes from above DateObj is // being extracted using getMinutes() var minutes = DateObj.getMinutes(); // Printing minutes document.write(minutes); </script> |
Output:
NaN
Example 2: If minutes is not given, it returns zero (0).
<script> // Here a date has been assigned // while creating Date object var DateObj = new Date( 'October 12, 1996' ); // minutes from above DateObj is // being extracted using getMinutes() var minutes = DateObj.getMinutes(); // Printing minutes document.write(minutes); </script> |
Output:
0
Example 3: If nothing as parameter is given, it returns present minute.
<script> // Creating a date object var DateObj = new Date(); // minutes from above DateObj is // being extracted using getMinutes() var minute = DateObj.getMinutes(); // Printing current minute document.write(minute); </script> |
Output:
