getUTCFullYear() — epoch year is 1970

📖 Usage Example

const d = new Date('2024-01-15T00:00:00.000Z')
d.getUTCFullYear()  // → 2024

Use getUTCFullYear() to retrieve the four-digit UTC year of a Date, regardless of local timezone.

Date.prototype.getUTCFullYear()

The Unix epoch is Jan 1, 1970 UTC, so getUTCFullYear() returns 1970.

Challenge: Verify that new Date(0).getUTCFullYear() returns 1970.
