getUTCMonth() β€” January is 0

πŸ“– Usage Example
const d = new Date('2024-06-15T00:00:00.000Z')
d.getUTCMonth()  // β†’ 5 (June)
// 0=Jan, 11=Dec

Use getUTCMonth() to retrieve the zero-indexed UTC month (0 = January through 11 = December) of a Date.

Date.prototype.getUTCMonth()

Returns the UTC month index (0 = January). Use UTC strings to avoid timezone drift.

Challenge: Verify that new Date('2024-01-15T00:00:00.000Z').getUTCMonth() returns 0.

πŸ’‘ Hints (1)
  • β€’ getUTCMonth() uses the same 0-indexed system as getMonth() β€” Jan=0, Dec=11
