Why does Javascript getYear() return 108?
Javascript date.getYear() returns 111 in 2011?

var testDate=new Date("Wed Dec 07 00:00:00 PST 2011")
 testDate.getYear();

for the above statement, I am getting 111 while I expect 2011.

Why am getting 111 only?

Answer 1

getYear is documented to return the year minus 1900, so you are actually getting the expected value. It's also deprecated. Use getFullYear to receive 2011.

Answer 2

use getFullYear()

var testDate=new Date("Wed Dec 07 00:00:00 PST 2011")
testDate.getFullYear();
