Below is the example of Date getUTCMinutes() method.
- Example:
<script>
// Here a date has been assigned according
// to universal time while creating Date object
var
dataobj =
new
Date(
'October 15, 1996 23:35:32 GMT+11:00'
);
// Minute from above date object is
// being extracted using getUTCMinutes().
var
B = dataobj.getUTCMinutes();
// Printing minute according to universal time
document.write(B);
</script>
- Output:
35
The date.getUTCMinutes() method used to fetch the minutes according to universal time from a given Date object.
Syntax:
DateObj.getUTCMinutes();
Parameters: This method does not accept any parameter. It is just used along with a Date Object from which we want to fetch minutes.
Return Values: It return the minutes for the given date according to universal time. Minutes is an integer value ranging from 0 to 59.
Note: In the above syntax, DateObj is a valid Date object created using Date() conctructor from which we want to fetch minutes.
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. Minutes will not be existed according to universal time if the date of the month does not exist.
<script> // Here a date has been assigned according // to universal time while creating Date object. var dataobj = new Date( 'October 33, 1996 23:35:32 GMT+11:00' ); // Minute from above data object is // being extracted using getUTCMinutes(). var B = dataobj.getUTCMinutes(); // Printing minute according to universal time. document.write(B); </script> |
Output:
NaN
Program 2: If minutes is not given to the Date() constructor while creating a Date object, then getUTCMinutes() method returns zero (0) 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 dataobj = new Date( 'October 13, 1996 GMT+11:00' ); // Minute from above data object is // being extracted using getUTCMinutes(). var B = dataobj.getUTCMinutes(); // Printing minute according to // universal time. document.write(B); </script> |
Output:
0
Program 3: If nothing as parameter is given to the Date() constructor while creating a Date object, the getUTCMinutes() method returns current minutes according to universal time.
<script> // Here nothing has been assigned according // to universal time while creating Date object. var dataobj = new Date(); // Minute from above data object is // being extracted using getUTCMinutes(). var B = dataobj.getUTCMinutes(); // Printing current minute // according to universal time. document.write(B); </script> |
Output:
18
