Below is the example of Date getUTCDay() method.
- Example:
<script>
// If nothing is in parameter it takes
// the current date while creating Date object
var
date =
new
Date();
// Date of the month from above date object
// is being extracted using getUTCDay().
var
getUTC = date.getUTCDay();
// Printing day of the week
document.write(getUTC);
</script>
- Output:
1
The date.getUTCDay() method is used to fetch the date of a month according to universal time from a given Date object.
Syntax:
DateObj.getUTCDay();
Parameter: This method does not accept any parameter. It is just used along with a Date Object from which we want to fetch the date of the month according to universal time.
Return Values: It returns the date of the month for the given date object according to universal time. The date of the month is an integer value ranging from 1 to 31.
More codes for the above method are as follows:
Program 1: The date of the month should lie in between 1 to 31 because none of the months have a date greater than 31 that is why it returns NaN i.e, not a number because the date for the month does not exist.
<script> // Here a date has been assigned according // to universal time while creating a Date object var dateobj = new Date( 'October 33, 1996 05:35:32 GMT-11:00' ); // date of the month from above date object // is being extracted using getUTCDay(). var B = dateobj.getUTCDay(); // Printing day of the week document.write(B); </script> |
Output:
NaN
Program 2: If date of the month is not given then by default getUTCDay() function returns 1 according to universal time. It is an exception case.
<script> // Here a date has been assigned according to // universal time while creating Date object var dateobj = new Date( 'October 1996 05:35:32 GMT-11:00' ); // date of the month from above date object is // extracted using getUTCDay(). var B = dateobj.getUTCDay(); // Printing day of the week document.write(B); </script> |
Output:
2
