The **`getMonth()`** method in JavaScript returns the month for the specified date according to the local time.

# Syntax
We declare the `getMonth()` method as shown below:

# Parameters and return value
The `getMonth()` method does not take any parameters. Instead, it returns the numeric value (0 - 11) corresponding to the month for the specified date. For example, 0 corresponds to January, and 11 corresponds to December. 

# Examples
The following code shows the use of the `getMonth()` method in JavaScript. 

First, we declare a `new Date` object with the current date and time. We then use the `getMonth()` method to get the month of the specified date: 

//Date Object
var d = new Date();
//getMonth() Method
var m = d.getMonth();
//Display the year
console.log("Month:", m);

In the example below, we declare the `new Date` object with a specified date. The `getMonth()` method returns the corresponding month for this specified date, as shown below:

//Date Object with a specified date
var d = new Date("December 25, 1999 15:15:00");
//getMonth() Method
var m = d.getMonth();
//Display
console.log("Month:", m);
