Why is new Date(2015,01,01) Feb, 01 2015 in Javascript?

Question

I am wondering why the date of the constructor and the printed date is different. It is shown as a month late.

Because `Integer value representing the month, beginning with 0 for January to 11 for December.` https://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Date — Tushar, Jul 21 '15 at 15:34

Month is zero-based in many languages. This means

0 -> January
1 -> February
2 -> March
...

month
Integer value representing the month, beginning with 0 for January to 11 for December.
