JavaScript Date getUTCMinutes() Method
The Javascript date.getUTCMinutes() method is used to fetch the minutes according to universal time from a given Date object (returns a value ranging from 0 to 59).
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 returns 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 the Date() constructor from which we want to fetch minutes.
Example 1: Below is an example of the Date.getUTCMinutes() method.
javascript
let dataobj =
new Date( 'October 15, 1996 23:35:32 GMT+11:00' );
let B = dataobj.getUTCMinutes();
console.log(B);
|
Output:
35
Example 2: The date of the month should lie 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.
javascript
let dataobj =
new Date( 'October 33, 1996 23:35:32 GMT+11:00' );
let B = dataobj.getUTCMinutes();
console.log(B);
|
Output:
NaN
Example 3: If minutes are not given to the Date() constructor while creating a Date object, then the getUTCMinutes() method returns zero (0) according to universal time. It is an exceptional case.
javascript
let dataobj =
new Date( 'October 13, 1996 GMT+11:00' );
let B = dataobj.getUTCMinutes();
console.log(B);
|
Output:
0
Example 4: If nothing as a parameter is given to the Date() constructor while creating a Date object, the getUTCMinutes() method returns current minutes according to universal time.
javascript
let dataobj = new Date();
let B = dataobj.getUTCMinutes();
console.log(B);
|
Output:
18
