Mistake

Question

In third example
“//Sat Jun 11 1988 11:42:00
var d3 = new Date(88,5,11,11,42,0,0);”
I think the month should be May instead of June, or am I wrong?

Answer 1

The Date object in JavaScript uses 0 through 11 for months. This means 0 represents January and 11 represents December.

Its a little confusing, but thats how its implemented.

Hope that clarified things.

Answer 2

Again, what are you referring to?

Answer 3

i got it, I am mistaken, as javascript uses strange numbers for months in the Date objects. number 5 actually (although strangely) represents June instead of May.

Answer 4

yes, correct, still it is confusing for me that date starts at 1, but month starts at 0

Answer 5

I agree, but mostly I just think of it as indexes in arrays. If you were to add 12 months to an array your index would be from 0 to 11 by default.

A lot of other languages don’t do it this way and prefer the more life like 1 through 12.
