Description

The setUTCMinutes() method sets the minutes for a specified date according to universal time.

Syntax

Given below is the syntax of setUTCMinutes() method.

Date.setUTCMinutes(minutesValue[, secondsValue[, msValue]])

Parameter Detail

• minutesValue − An integer between 0 and 59, representing the minutes.

• secondsValue − An integer between 0 and 59, representing the seconds. If you specify the secondsValue parameter, you must also specify the minutesValue.

• msValue − A number between 0 and 999, representing the milliseconds. If you specify the msValue parameter, you must also specify the minutesValue and secondsValue.

If you do not specify the secondsValue and msValue parameters, the values returned from getUTCSeconds and getUTCMilliseconds methods are used.

If a parameter you specify is outside of the expected range, setUTCMinutes attempts to update the date information in the Date object accordingly. For example, if you use 100 for secondsValue, the minutes (minutesValue) will be incremented by 1 (minutesValue + 1), and 40 will be used for seconds.

Example

The following example demonstrates the usage of the setUTCMinutes() method in CoffeeScript. Save this code in a file with name date_setutcminutes.coffee.

dt = new Date "February 19, 2016 23:15:00"
dt.setUTCMinutes 65   
console.log dt

Open the command prompt and compile the .coffee file as shown below.

c:\> coffee -c date_setutcminutes.coffee

On compiling, it gives you the following JavaScript.

// Generated by CoffeeScript 1.10.0
(function() {
  var dt;

  dt = new Date("February 19, 2016 23:15:00");

  dt.setUTCMinutes(65);

  console.log(dt);

}).call(this);

Now, open the command prompt again, and run the CoffeeScript file as shown below.

c:\> coffee date_setutcminutes.coffee

On executing, the CoffeeScript file produces the following output.

Fri Feb 19 2016 23:35:00 GMT+0530 (India Standard Time)
