The getYear()
method returns the year in the specified date according to local time. Because getYear()
does not return full years ("year 2000 problem"), it is no longer used and has been replaced by the getFullYear() method.
dateObj.getYear()
None.
The getYear()
method returns the year minus 1900; thus:
getYear()
is 100 or greater. For example, if the year is 2026, getYear()
returns 126.getYear()
is between 0 and 99. For example, if the year is 1976, getYear()
returns 76.getYear()
is less than 0. For example, if the year is 1800, getYear()
returns -100.To take into account years before and after 2000, you should use getFullYear() instead of getYear()
so that the year is specified in full.
The getYear()
method returns either a 2-digit or 4-digit year:
getYear()
is the year minus 1900. For example, if the year is 1976, the value returned is 76.getYear()
is the four-digit year. For example, if the year is 1856, the value returned is 1856. If the year is 2026, the value returned is 2026.The second statement assigns the value 95 to the variable year
.
var Xmas = new Date('December 25, 1995 23:15:00'); var year = Xmas.getYear(); // returns 95
The second statement assigns the value 100 to the variable year
.
var Xmas = new Date('December 25, 2000 23:15:00'); var year = Xmas.getYear(); // returns 100
The second statement assigns the value -100 to the variable year
.
var Xmas = new Date('December 25, 1800 23:15:00'); var year = Xmas.getYear(); // returns -100
The third statement assigns the value 95 to the variable year
, representing the year 1995.
var Xmas = new Date('December 25, 2015 23:15:00'); Xmas.setYear(95); var year = Xmas.getYear(); // returns 95
