Having an issue with javascript Date()

Question

I am using - new Date(2014, 5, 2). But it is not showing the proper date.

When i do console.log(new Date(2014, 5, 2)); on the console it returns - Mon Jun 02 2014 00:00:00 GMT+0530 (India Standard Time). Why June? Should not it be May?

The month index starts from 0, not from 1... Then 0 is January...

If you read the docs.

JavaScript counts months from 0 to 11. January is 0. December is 11.

No June is correct, May was last month. Check out w3schools example of the format you're trying to use: http://www.w3schools.com/js/js_dates.asp
