Last Updated :
22 May, 2023
The date.setUTCMinutes() method is used to set minutes according to universal time into a date object which is created using the Date() constructor.
Syntax:
DateObj.setUTCMinutes(Minutes_Value);
Parameter: This method accepts a single parameter as mentioned above and described below:
- minutes_Value: This parameter holds the value of minutes that we want to set in the date created using the Date() constructor.
Return values: It returns the new i.e. updated minute which is set by the setUTCMinutes() method.
Note: The DateObj is a valid Date object created using the Date() constructor in which we want to set the minute. The value of the minute is from 0 to 59.
Below are examples of the Date setUTCMinutes() method.
Example 1:
javascript
let dateobj =
new Date( 'October 13, 1996 05:35:32 GMT-3:00' );
dateobj.setUTCMinutes(52);
let B = dateobj.getUTCMinutes();
console.log(B);
|
Output:
52
Example 2: If in the Date() constructor we do not give any minute while creating the Date object, still setUTCMinutes() method will be able to set a new minute according to the universal time in the created Date object.
javascript
let dateobj = new Date( 'October 13, 1996 GMT-3:00' );
dateobj.setUTCMinutes(51);
let B = dateobj.getUTCMinutes();
console.log(B);
|
Output:
51
Example 3: If nothing as a parameter is given in the Date() constructor, still setUTCMinutes() method will be able to set minutes but a month, year, date, etc remains current ones. Here 42 is the new minutes, 3 is the current month i.e April, 1 is the current date and 2018 is the current year.
javascript
let dateobj = new Date();
dateobj.setUTCMinutes(42);
let B = dateobj.getUTCMinutes();
let C = dateobj.getUTCMonth();
let D = dateobj.getUTCDate();
let E = dateobj.getUTCFullYear();
console.log(B);
console.log(C);
console.log(D);
console.log(E);
|
Output:
42

2018
Example 4: If the value of minute as 66 is given as the parameter of the setUTCMinutes() method, it will set 6 as the minute because the minute range is from 0 to 59, and hence , here 60 is subtracted because 0 to 59 is 60.
javascript
let dateobj =
new Date( 'October 13, 1996 05:35:32 GMT-3:00' );
dateobj.setUTCMinutes(66);
let B = dateobj.getUTCMinutes();
let C = dateobj.getUTCHours();
console.log(B);
console.log(C);

Output:
