getYear
is no longer used and has been replaced by thegetFullYear
method.The
getYear
method returns the year minus 1900; thus:
- For years greater than or equal to 2000, the value returned by
getYear
is 100 or greater. For example, if the year is 2026,getYear
returns 126.- For years between and including 1900 and 1999, the value returned by
getYear
is between 0 and 99. For example, if the year is 1976,getYear
returns 76.- For years less than 1900, the value returned by
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 ofgetYear
so that the year is specified in full.
