The getUTCFullYear()
method of Date
instances returns the year for this date according to universal time.
const date1 = new Date("December 31, 1975, 23:15:30 GMT+11:00");
const date2 = new Date("December 31, 1975, 23:15:30 GMT-11:00");
console.log(date1.getUTCFullYear());
// Expected output: 1975
console.log(date2.getUTCFullYear());
// Expected output: 1976
Syntax Parameters
None.
Return valueAn integer representing the year for the given date according to universal time. Returns NaN
if the date is invalid.
Unlike getYear()
, the value returned by getUTCFullYear()
is an absolute number. For dates between the years 1000 and 9999, getFullYear()
returns a four-digit number, for example, 1995. Use this function to make sure a year is compliant with years after 2000.
The following example assigns the four-digit value of the current year to the variable year
.
const today = new Date();
const year = today.getUTCFullYear();
