The date.getMonth() method is used to fetch the month(0 to 11) from given Date object.
Syntax:
DateObj.getMonth()
Parameter: This function does not accept any parameter.
Return Value: It returns the Month for the given Date object. The month is an integer value ranging from 0 to 11. Zero (0) means January, 1 means February, and so on till 11 means December.
More codes for the above method are as follows:
Program 1: Here the date of the month should lie in between 1 to 31 because no date can have month greater than 31. That is why it returns NaN i.e, Not a Number if the month in the Date object is greater than 31.
<script type="text/javascript"> // Creating a Date Object var DateObj = new Date('October 33, 1996 05:35:32'); // Month from above Date Object is being // Extracted using getMonth() var months = DateObj.getMonth(); // Printing month. document.write(months); </script> |
Output:
NaN
Program 2: If month is not given, it returns zero (0).
<script type="text/javascript"> // Creating a Date Object var DateObj = new Date('1996 05:35:32'); // Month from above Date Object is being // Extracted using getMonth() var months = DateObj.getMonth(); // Printing month. document.write(months); </script> |
Output:
0
Program 3: If nothing as parameter is given, it returns current month.
<script type="text/javascript"> // Creating a Date Object var DateObj = new Date(); // Month from above Date Object is being // Extracted using getMonth() var months = DateObj.getMonth(); // Printing month. document.write(months); </script> |
Output:
2
