specified date according to universal time.
Try it
Syntax
setUTCFullYear(yearValue)
setUTCFullYear(yearValue, monthValue)
setUTCFullYear(yearValue, monthValue, dayValue)
Parameters
yearValue-
An integer specifying the numeric value of the year, for example, 1995.
monthValue-
Optional. An integer between 0 and 11 representing the months January through December.
dayValue-
Optional. An integer between 1 and 31 representing the day of the month. If you specify the
dayValueparameter, you must also specify themonthValue.
Return value
The number of milliseconds between 1 January 1970 00:00:00 UTC and the updated date.
Description
If you do not specify the monthValue and
dayValue 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);
