The date.toGMTString() method is used to convert the given date object’s contents into a string according to the Greenwich Mean Time GMT. The date object is created using the date() constructor.
Note: This method has been deprecated and has been replaced by the toUTCString() method.
Syntax:
dateObj.toGMTString()
Parameters: This method does not accept any parameter. It is just used along with a Date object created using the Date() constructor whose contents are converted into a string.
Return Values: It returns the converted string according to the Greenwich Mean Time GMT.
The below examples show the use of the Date toGMTString() method.
Example 1: In this example, we will convert a given time and date to GMT.
Javascript
<script> // Here a date has been assigned // while creating Date object var dateobj = new Date('October 15, 1996 05:35:32'); // Contents of above date object is converted // into a string using toGMTString() method. var B = dateobj.toGMTString(); // Printing the converted string. console.log(B);</script> |
Output:
Tue, 15 Oct 1996 00:05:32 GMT
Example 2: Here nothing is passed as a parameter while creating the date object but the toGMTString() method returns the current day, month, date, year, and time.
Javascript
<script type="text/javascript"> var dt = new Date(); console.log( "Formatted Date : " + dt.toGMTString() ); </script> |
Output:
Formatted Date : Mon, 09 Jan 2023 05:54:54 GMT
