Date Basics

Mission: Artist Profile Lab

The event calendar needs the year, month, and day from one fixed timestamp. Extract its UTC parts in script.js and inspect the formatted date in the Console.

The previous lesson read a UTC year. Now extract all three UTC calendar parts. getUTCMonth() counts January as 0, so add 1 before formatting; a fixed timestamp avoids timezone-dependent results.

Example

javascript
const deliveryDate = new Date("2025-11-03T00:00:00Z");
console.log(deliveryDate.getUTCMonth() + 1);

Your Task

  1. Create launchDate from 2024-05-06T00:00:00Z and read the UTC year, month, and day into separate variables.
  2. Log 2024-05-06 with console.log().

Next, apply objects and built-ins to two real data-processing jobs before the section quiz.

Hint 1
1 / 2
HINT 1

Use getUTCFullYear(), getUTCMonth() + 1, and getUTCDate() for stable results.

HINT 2

Pad the month and day with a leading zero if needed.
