The date.getUTCMinutes() is an inbuilt function in JavaScript which is used to fetch the minutes according to universal time from a given Date object.
Syntax:
DateObj.getUTCMinutes();
In the above syntax, DateObj is a valid Date object created using Date() conctructor from which we want to fetch minutes.
Parameters: This function does not takes any parameter. It is just used along with a Date Object from which we want to fetch minutes.
Return Values: It return the minutes for the given date according to universal time. Minutes is an interger value ranging from 0 to 59.
Below program illustrate the getUTCMinutes() method:
// Here a date has been assigned according to universal // time while creating Date object var dataobj = new Date( 'October 15, 1996 23:35:32 GMT+11:00' ); // Minute from above date object is // being extracted using getUTCMinutes(). var B = dataobj.getUTCMinutes(); // Printing minute according to universal time console.log(B); |
Output:
35
Errors and Exceptions:
- Code #1: The date of the month should must lie in between 1 to 31 because none of the month have date greater than 31 that is why it returns NaN i.e, not a number because date for the month does not exist. Minutes will not be existed according to universal time if the date of the month does not exists.
// Here a date has been assigned according to universal
// time while creating Date object.
var
dataobj =
new
Date(
'October 33, 1996 23:35:32 GMT+11:00'
);
// Minute from above data object is
// being extracted using getUTCMinutes().
var
B = dataobj.getUTCMinutes();
// Printing minute according to universal time.
console.log(B);
Output:
NaN
- Code #2: If minutes is not given to the Date() constructor while creating a Date object, then getUTCMinutes() function returns zero (0) according to universal time.It is an exception case.
// Here a date has been assigned according to universal
// time while creating Date object.
var
dataobj =
new
Date(
'October 13, 1996 GMT+11:00'
);
// Minute from above data object is
// being extracted using getUTCMinutes().
var
B = dataobj.getUTCMinutes();
// Printing minute according to universal time.
console.log(B);
Output:
0
- Code #3: If nothing as parameter is given to the Date() constructor while creating a Date object, the getUTCMinutes() function returns current minutes according to universal time.
// Here nothing has been assigned according to universal
// time while creating Date object.
var
dataobj =
new
Date();
// Minute from above data object is
// being extracted using getUTCMinutes().
var
B = dataobj.getUTCMinutes();
// Printing current minute
// according to universal time.
console.log(B);
Output:
18
