SetUTCMinutes() Method in JavaScript

How to set the minutes of a date object according to UTC time in JavaScript?


By using setUTCMinutes() method we can set the minutes of a date object according to UTC time.

<p>Click the below button to set the minutes according to UTC time.</p>
<input type="button" value="Click" onclick="myTime()" />
<p id="myId"></p>

<script>
    function myTime() {
        var a = new Date();   //* Returns the present date accoding to internet network*//
        a.setUTCMinutes(29);  //* Sets the Minutes according to UTC*//
        document.getElementById("myId").innerHTML = a;
    }
</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 myTime() 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 set the minutes of a date object according to UTC time, for that we are using setUTCMinutes(). In the <script> block var a = new Date() returns the date, day & time according to the internet network and A.setUTCMinutes(29) sets the minutes in the var a and returns the output. Onclick of the button "Click" in the HTML code returns the function myTime() in the <script> block, at the same time setUTCMinutes() sets the minutes in the variable a and returns the output.

OUTPUT

NOTE: In the output the time is showing as per the IST, but in UTC it is 29 minutes only as per the given input value to setUTCMinutes() method.
