The setUTCFullYear() method of Date instances changes the year for this date according to universal time.
Syntax
setUTCFullYear(yearValue)
setUTCFullYear(yearValue, monthValue)
setUTCFullYear(yearValue, monthValue, dateValue)
Parameters
yearValue- : An integer representing the year. For example, 1995.
monthValue- : An integer representing the month: 0 for January, 1 for February, and so on.
dateValue- : An integer between 1 and 31 representing the day of the month. If you specify
dateValue, you must also specifymonthValue.
- : An integer between 1 and 31 representing the day of the month. If you specify
Return value
Changes the Date object in place, and returns its new timestamp. If a parameter is NaN (or other values that get coerced to NaN, such as undefined), the date is set to Invalid Date and NaN is returned.
Description
If you do not specify the monthValue and
dateValue parameters, the values returned from the
getUTCMonth() and
getUTCDate() methods are used.
If a parameter you specify is outside of the expected range,
setUTCFullYear() attempts to update the other parameters and the date
information in the Date object accordingly. For example, if you specify 15
for monthValue, the year is incremented by 1
(yearValue + 1), and 3 is used for the month.
Examples
Using setUTCFullYear()
const theBigDay = new Date();
theBigDay.setUTCFullYear(1997);
