JavaScript date.getYear() is used to get the year on a specified date according to universal time. The year we get from the method getYear() is the current year minus 1900.
Syntax:date.getYear();Parameters:
Example 1: This example returns the year of the specified date according to universal time.
JavaScript
// "date" is object of Date() class
let date = new Date();
// Use "getYear()" method and stores
// the returned value to "n"
let n = date.getYear();
// Display the result
console.log("The value returned by getYear() method: " + n)
Output:
The value returned by getYear() method: 119
Example 2: This example only sends the year to the constructor.
JavaScript
// Year 2000 is assign to the
// constructor of Date() class
let date = new Date('2000')
// Use "getYear()" method and stores
// the returned value to "n"
let n = date.getYear();
// Display the returned value
// The value is the subtraction of
// 2000 and 1900
console.log("The value returned by getYear() method: " + n)
Output:
The value returned by getYear() method: 100
Example 3: Here, we pass a full date to the constructor, the format of the date is month-day-year-time, such as October 15, 2010, 02:05:32.
JavaScript
// Full date is assign to the constructor of Date() class
let date = new Date('October 15, 2010, 02:05:32')
// Use "getYear()" method and stores the
// returned value in "n"
let n = date.getYear();
// Display the returned value
// The value is the subtraction of 2010 and 1900
console.log("The value returned by getYear() method: " + n)
The value returned by getYear() method: 110Supported Browsers:
