2. setMonth(): Sets the month (0-11) for a specified date object.

let today = new Date();
today.setMonth(5); // Sets the month to June (remember, January is 0)




3. setFullYear(): Sets the year (4 digits) for a specified date object.

let today = new Date();
today.setFullYear(2023); // Sets the year to 2023




4. setHours(): Sets the hour (0-23) for a specified date object.

let now = new Date();
now.setHours(10); // Sets the hour to 10:00 AM




5. setMinutes(): Sets the minutes (0-59) for a specified date object.

let now = new Date();
now.setMinutes(30); // Sets the minutes to 30




6. setSeconds(): Sets the seconds (0-59) for a specified date object.

let now = new Date();
now.setSeconds(45); // Sets the seconds to 45
