The date.getMinutes() is an inbuilt function in JavaScript which is used to fetch the minutes from given Date object.
Syntax:
DateObj.getMinutes()
In the above syntax, DateObj is a valid Date object created using Date() conctructor from which we want to fetch minutes.
Parameter: This function does not takes any parameter. It is just used along with a Date Object from which we want to fetch Minutes.
Return Value: It returns the minutes for the given Date Object. Minutes is an integer value ranging from 0 to 59.
Below program illustrate the getMinutes() method:
// Here a date has been assigned // while creating Date object var DateObj = new Date( 'October 15, 1996 05:35:32' ); // minutes from above DateObj is being // extracted using getMinutes(). var minutes = DateObj.getMinutes(); // Printing minute. console.log(minutes); |
Output:
35
Errors and Exceptions:
- Program 1: Here date of the month must lie in between 1 to 31 because no date have month greater than 31 that is why it returns NaN i.e, not a number because the date for the month does not exit, minutes will not be existed when date of the month is given as 33 i.e, greater then 31.
// Here a date has been assigned
// while creating Date object
var
DateObj =
new
Date(
'October 35, 1996 05:35:32'
);
// minutes from above DateObj is
// being extracted using getMinutes()
var
minutes = DateObj.getMinutes();
// Printing minutes
console.log(minutes);

var
minutes = DateObj.getMinutes();
// Printing minutes
console.log(minutes);
Output:

- Program 3: If nothing as parameter is given, it returns present minute.
