JavaScript date.setFullYear() method is used to set year into a date object which is created using Date() constructor.
Syntax:
DateObj.setFullYear(year_Value)
Parameter: This method accepts a single parameter as mentioned above and described below:
- year_Value: This parameter holds the value of year which is used to set in the Date() constructor.
Return Value: It returns the new date with the updated year which is set by the setFullYear() method.
Below examples illustrate the JavaScript Date setFullYear() Method:
Note: DateObj is a valid Date object created using Date() constructor in which we want to set the year. More codes for the above method are as follows:
Example 1:
Javascript
let dateobj =
new Date( 'October 13, 1996 05:35:32' );
dateobj.setFullYear(1992);
let B = dateobj.getFullYear();
console.log(B);
|
Output:
1992
Example 2: If in the Date() constructor we do not give any year, still setFullYear() method set a new year which is given as its parameter.
Javascript
let dateobj =
new Date( 'October 13, 05:35:32' );
dateobj.setFullYear(1992);
let B = dateobj.getFullYear();
console.log(B);
|
Output:
1992
Example 3: If nothing as a parameter is given in the Date() constructor, still setFullYear() method set year but month and date become current ones. Here in output 2 is the month of March because the month name starts from 0 to 11 i.e, 0 for January and 11 for December, and 30 is the current date.
Javascript
let dateobj = new Date();
dateobj.setFullYear(2007);
let B = dateobj.getFullYear();
let C = dateobj.getMonth();
let D = dateobj.getDate();
console.log(B);
console.log(C);
console.log(D);
|
Output:
