SetUTCMonth() Method in JavaScript

How to set the specified month of a year according to UTC time in JavaScript?

By using setUTCMonth() method we cans set the specified month of a year according to UTC time.

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

<script>
    function myDate() {
        var a = new Date();
        a.setUTCMonth(9);  //* Jan=0, Feb=1,.......Dec=11 *//
        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 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 set the specified month of a year according to UTC time, for that we are using setUTCMonth(). We have given value "9" to the setUTCMonth() method, that returns the October month in the output (Jan=0, Feb=1, Mar=2,.........Dec=11). Onclick of the button "Click" in the HTML code returns the function myDate() in the <script> block at the same time setUTCMonth() method sets the month and returns the output.
