By using getUTCDay()
we can return the day of the week, according to UTC.
NOTE: UTC is nothing but the Universal Time Cordinated which used across the world since 1972, which is useful for synchronizing the time as per the internet networks.
<p>Click the below button to display the day of the week as per the UTC.</p> <input type="button" value="Click" onclick="myDate()" /> <p id="myId"></p> <script> function myDate() { var a = new Date(); var r = a.getUTCDay(); document.getElementById("myId").innerHTML = r; } </script>
In the above code snippet we have given Id
as "myId
"to the second <p>
element in the HTML code. There is a function myDate() in the<script>
block which is connected to the Onclick of the HTML button. The document.getElementById(
"myId")
returns the element that has Id
"id=myID" in the HTML page. We need to return the day of the week, according to UTC, for that we are using getUTCDay()
. Onclick of the button "Click" in the HTML code fires the function myDate() in the <script>
block at the same time getUTCDay()
return the day of the week according to UTC as a output.
OUTPUT
NOTE: In this case 0=Sunday, 1=Monday, 2=Tuesday.....................6=Saturday.
