Last Updated : 30 Jun, 2020

Below is the example of Date prototype Property.

Example:

<script>
    
  var birthday = new Date('June 21, 2018 16:44:23');
  var date1 = birthday.getDate(); 
  var day1 = birthday.getDay(); 
  var year1 = birthday.getFullYear(); 
  var hour1 = birthday.getHours(); 
  var ms1 = birthday.getMilliseconds(); 
  var m1 = birthday.getMinutes(); 
  var mth1 = birthday.getMonth(); 
  var time1 = birthday.getTime(); 
  var s1 = birthday.getSeconds(); 
  var offset = birthday.getTimezoneOffset(); 
  var date2 = birthday.getUTCDate(); 
  var day2 = birthday.getUTCDay(); 
  var year2 = birthday.getUTCFullYear(); 
  var hour2 = birthday.getUTCHours(); 
  var ms2 = birthday.getUTCMilliseconds();
  var um1 = birthday.getUTCMinutes();
  var umth = birthday.getUTCMonth();
  var us = birthday.getUTCSeconds();
  
  document.write(date1 +"<br>");
  document.write(day1 +"<br>");
  document.write(year1 +"<br>");
  document.write(hour1 +"<br>");
  document.write(ms1 +"<br>");
  document.write(m1 +"<br>");
  document.write(mth1 +"<br>");
  document.write(time1 +"<br>");
  document.write(s1 +"<br>");
  document.write(offset +"<br>");
  document.write(date2 +"<br>");
  document.write(day2 +"<br>");
  document.write(year2 +"<br>");
  document.write(hour2 +"<br>");
  document.write(ms2 +"<br>");
  document.write(um1 +"<br>");
  document.write(umth +"<br>");
  document.write(us);        
</script>

Output:

getMinutes(): It returns the minutes (0-59) for the specified date according to local time.
getMonth(): It returns the month (0-11) for the specified date according to local time.
getSeconds(): It returns the seconds(0-59) for the specified date according to local time.
getTime(): It returns the number of milliseconds ellapsed since January 01, 1970 00:00:00 UTC. It is negative for time
before the given time.
getTimeozneOffset(): It returns the timezone offset in minutes for current location.
getUTCDate(): It returns the date of the month (1-31) for the specified date according to universal time.
getUTCDay(): It returns the day of the week (0-6) for the specified date according to universal time.
getUTCFullYear(): It returns the year for the specified date according to universal time.
getUTCHours(): It returns the hours (0-23) for the specified date according to universal time.
getUTCMilliseconds(): It returns the milliseconds(0-999) for the specified date according to universal time.
getUTCMinutes(): It returns the minutes (0-59) for the specified date according to universal time.
getUTCMonth(): It returns the month (0-11) for the specified date according to universal time.
getUTCSeconds(): It returns the seconds (0-59) for the specified date according to universal time.
