• Code #1: If in Date() constructor we do not give any minute while creating the Date object, still setUTCMinutes() function will be able to set new minute according to universal time in the created Date object.

  // Here minute has not been assigned according to // universal time while creating Date object var dateobj = new Date('October 13, 1996 GMT-3:00');    // new minute of 51 is being set in above Date // Object with the help of setUTCMinutes() function dateobj.setUTCMinutes(51);    // new minute from above Date Object is // being extracted using getUTCMinutes() var B = dateobj.getUTCMinutes();    // Printing new minute console.log(B);

  Output:

  > 51

  // Here nothing has been assigned according to // universal time while creating Date object var dateobj = new Date();    // new minute of 42 is being set in above Date // Object with the help of setUTCMinutes() function dateobj.setUTCMinutes(42);    // Minutes from above Date Object is // being extracted using getUTCMinutes() var B = dateobj.getUTCMinutes();    // month from above Date Object is // being extracted using getUTCMonth() var C = dateobj.getUTCMonth();    // date from above Date Object is // being extracted using getUTCDate() var D = dateobj.getUTCDate();    // year from above Date Object is // being extracted using getUTCFullYear() var E = dateobj.getUTCFullYear();    // Printing new minutes console.log(B);    // Printing current month console.log(C);    // Printing current date console.log(D);    // Printing current year console.log(E);

  Output:

  > 3
  > 1
  > 2018

  Here 42 is the new minutes, 3 is the current month i.e April, 1 is the current date and 2018 is the current year.

• Code #3: If value of minute as 66 is given as the parameter of setUTCMinutes() function, it will set 6 as the minute because minute range is form 0 to 59 and hence , here 60 is substracted because 0 to 59 is 60.

  // Here date has been assigned according to // universal time while creating Date object var dateobj = new Date('October 13, 1996 05:35:32 GMT-3:00');    // new minute of 66 is being set in above Date // Object with the help of setUTCMinutes() function dateobj.setUTCMinutes(66);    // minute from above Date Object is // being extracted using getUTCMinutes() var B = dateobj.getUTCMinutes();    // Hour from above Date Object is // being extracted using getUTCHours() var C = dateobj.getUTCHours();    // Printing new minute console.log(B);    // Printing hour console.log(C);

  Output:

  > 6
  > 6
