adding three months to the current month in js

Question

I've used the following Javascript code to get the current year.

new Date().getFullYear()

what I want is to add three months to the current date and check whether the year changes! In java we can make this happen but I don't know how to do this javascript. How can I check this condition with javascript!

Look for accepted answer http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5645058/how-to-add-months-to-a-date-in-javascript and just adjust number of months to be added. — Māris Kiseļovs, May 27 '13 at 05:10

var n1 = new Date().getFullYear();

var presentDate= new Date();
presentDate.setMonth(presentDate.getMonth()+No Of months you want to add);

var n2 = presentDate.getFullYear();

 if(n1 == n2)
    alert("Year not changed");
   else
    alert("Year changed");

to shift a date object to 3 months forward you can use the setMonth function.

var k = new Date();

k.setMonth(k.getMonth()+3);

alert(k);

Here is a demo fiddle.
