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

object with the current date and time. We then use the getMonth()

//Date Objectvar d = new Date();//getMonth() Methodvar m = d.getMonth();//Display the yearconsole.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 datevar d = new Date("December 25, 1999 15:15:00");//getMonth() Methodvar m = d.getMonth();//Displayconsole.log("Month:", m);
