- Else fractionDigits is

Note that the decimal representation of n has f + 1 digits, n is not divisible by 10, and the least significant digit of n is not necessarily uniquely determined by these criteria.

- Let a be the first k - f code units of m, and let b be the remaining f code units of m.
Set m to thestring-concatenation of a,".", and b.
- Return the
string-concatenation of s and m.
The output of toFixed may be more precise than toString for some values because toString only prints enough significant digits to distinguish the number from adjacent number values. For example,
(1000000000000000128).toString() returns "1000000000000000100", while
(1000000000000000128).toFixed(0) returns "1000000000000000128".
20.1.3.4 Number.prototype.toLocaleString ( [ reserved1 [ , reserved2 ] ] )

The behaviour of the functions acos, acosh, asin, asinh, atan, atanh, atan2, cbrt, cos, cosh, exp, expm1, hypot, log,log1p, log2, log10, pow, random, sin, sinh, sqrt, tan, and tanh is not precisely specified here except to require specific results for certain argument values that represent boundary cases of interest. For other argument values, these functions are intended to compute approximations to the results of familiar mathematical functions, but some latitude is allowed in the choice of approximation algorithms.

20.3 Date Objects
20.3.1 Overview of Date Objects and Definitions of Abstract Operations
The following functions are
20.3.1.1 Time Values and Time Range
A Date object contains a Number representing an instant in time with millisecond precision. Such a Number is called a time value. A time value may also be
Time is measured in ECMAScript as milliseconds since midnight at the beginning of 01 January, 1970 UTC. Time in ECMAScript does not observe leap seconds; they are ignored. Time calculations assume each and every day contains exactly
A Number can exactly represent all integers from -9,007,199,254,740,992 to 9,007,199,254,740,992 (
The exact moment of midnight at the beginning of 01 January, 1970 UTC is represented by the time value
The 400 year cycle of the Gregorian calendar contains 97 leap years. This yields an average of 365.2425 days per year, or an average of 31,556,952,000 milliseconds per year under the Gregorian calendar. ECMAScript applies a proleptic Gregorian calendar for all time computations.
As specified by this section, the maximum year range a Number can represent exactly with millisecond precision is approximately -285,426 to 285,426 years relative to midnight at the beginning of 01 January, 1970 UTC.
As specified by this section, the maximum year range a time value can represent is approximately -273,790 to 273,790 years relative to midnight at the beginning of 01 January, 1970 UTC.
20.3.1.2 Day Number and Time within Day
A given
where the number of milliseconds per day is
The remainder is called the time within the day:
20.3.1.3 Year Number
ECMAScript uses a proleptic Gregorian calendar to map a day number to a year number and to determine the month and date within that year. In this calendar, leap years are precisely those which are (divisible by 4) and ((not divisible by 100) or (divisible by 400)). The number of days in year number y is therefore defined by
All non-leap years have 365 days with the usual number of days per month and leap years have an extra day in February. The day number of the first day of year y is given by:
The
A
The leap-year function is 1 for a time within a leap year and otherwise is zero:
20.3.1.4 Month Number
Months are identified by an integer in the range 0 to 11, inclusive. The mapping
where
A month value of 0 specifies January; 1 specifies February; 2 specifies March; 3 specifies April; 4 specifies May; 5 specifies June; 6 specifies July; 7 specifies August; 8 specifies September; 9 specifies October; 10 specifies November; and 11 specifies December. Note that
20.3.1.5 Date Number
A date number is identified by an integer in the range 1 through 31, inclusive. The mapping DateFromTime(t) from a
20.3.1.6 Week Day
The weekday for a particular
A weekday value of 0 specifies Sunday; 1 specifies Monday; 2 specifies Tuesday; 3 specifies Wednesday; 4 specifies Thursday; 5 specifies Friday; and 6 specifies Saturday. Note that
20.3.1.7 LocalTZA ( t, isUTC )
LocalTZA( t, isUTC ) is an implementation-defined algorithm that must return a number representing milliseconds suitable for adding to a Time Value. The local political rules for standard time and daylight saving time in effect at t should be used to determine the result in the way specified in the following three paragraphs.
When isUTC is true, LocalTZA( t, true ) should return the offset of the local time zone from UTC measured in milliseconds at time represented by
When isUTC is false, LocalTZA( t, false ) should return the offset of the local time zone from UTC measured in milliseconds at local time represented by
When
If an implementation does not support a conversion described above or if political rules for time t are not available within the implementation, the result must be 0.
It is recommended that implementations use the time zone information of the IANA Time Zone Database https://www.iana.org/time-zones/.
1:30 AM on November 5, 2017 in America/New_York is repeated twice (fall backward), but it must be interpreted as 1:30 AM UTC-04 instead of 1:30 AM UTC-05. LocalTZA(
2:30 AM on March 12, 2017 in America/New_York does not exist, but it must be interpreted as 2:30 AM UTC-05 (equivalent to 3:30 AM UTC-04). LocalTZA(
20.3.1.8 LocalTime ( t )
The abstract operation LocalTime with argument t converts t from UTC to local time by performing the following steps:
- Return t + LocalTZA(t,
true ).
Two different time values (t (UTC)) are converted to the same local time
20.3.1.9 UTC ( t )
20.3.1.10 Hours, Minutes, Second, and Milliseconds
The following
where
20.3.1.11 MakeTime ( hour, min, sec, ms )
The abstract operation MakeTime calculates a number of milliseconds from its four arguments, which must be ECMAScript Number values. This operator functions as follows:
- If hour is not finite or min is not finite or sec is not finite or ms is not finite, return
NaN . - Let h be !
ToInteger (hour). - Let m be !
ToInteger (min). - Let s be !
ToInteger (sec). - Let milli be !
ToInteger (ms). - Let t be h
*msPerHour +m*msPerMinute +s*msPerSecond +milli, performing the arithmetic according to IEEE 754-2008 rules (that is, as if using the ECMAScript operators*and+). - Return t.
20.3.1.12 MakeDay ( year, month, date )
The abstract operation MakeDay calculates a number of days from its three arguments, which must be ECMAScript Number values. This operator functions as follows:
- If year is not finite or month is not finite or date is not finite, return
NaN . - Let y be !
ToInteger (year). - Let m be !
ToInteger (month). - Let dt be !
ToInteger (date). - Let ym be y +
floor (m / 12). - Let mn be m
modulo 12. - Find a value t such that
YearFromTime (t) is ym andMonthFromTime (t) is mn and DateFromTime(t) is 1; but if this is not possible (because some argument is out of range), returnNaN . - Return
Day (t) + dt - 1.
20.3.1.13 MakeDate ( day, time )
The abstract operation MakeDate calculates a number of milliseconds from its two arguments, which must be ECMAScript Number values. This operator functions as follows:
- If day is not finite or time is not finite, return
NaN . - Return day ×
msPerDay + time.
20.3.1.14 TimeClip ( time )
The abstract operation TimeClip calculates a number of milliseconds from its argument, which must be an ECMAScript Number value. This operator functions as follows:
The point of step 4 is that an implementation is permitted a choice of internal representations of time values, for example as a 64-bit signed integer or as a 64-bit floating-point value. Depending on the implementation, this internal representation may or may not distinguish
20.3.1.15 Date Time String Format
ECMAScript defines a string interchange format for date-times based upon a simplification of the ISO 8601 calendar date extended format. The format is as follows: YYYY-MM-DDTHH:mm:ss.sssZ
Where the fields are as follows:
YYYY
|
is the decimal digits of the year 0000 to 9999 in the proleptic Gregorian calendar. |
-
|
"-" (hyphen) appears literally twice in the string.
|
MM
|
is the month of the year from 01 (January) to 12 (December). |
DD
|
is the day of the month from 01 to 31. |
T
|
"T" appears literally in the string, to indicate the beginning of the time element.
|
HH
|
is the number of complete hours that have passed since midnight as two decimal digits from 00 to 24. |
:
|
":" (colon) appears literally twice in the string.
|
mm
|
is the number of complete minutes since the start of the hour as two decimal digits from 00 to 59. |
ss
|
is the number of complete seconds since the start of the minute as two decimal digits from 00 to 59. |
.
|
"." (dot) appears literally in the string.
|
sss
|
is the number of complete milliseconds since the start of the second as three decimal digits. |
Z
|
is the time zone offset specified as "Z" (for UTC) or either "+" or "-" followed by a time expression HH:mm
|
This format includes date-only forms:
YYYY
YYYY-MM
YYYY-MM-DD
It also includes “date-time” forms that consist of one of the above date-only forms immediately followed by one of the following time forms with an optional time zone offset appended:
THH:mm
THH:mm:ss
THH:mm:ss.sss
All numbers must be base 10. If the MM or DD fields are absent "01" is used as the value. If the HH, mm, or ss fields are absent "00" is used as the value and the value of an absent sss field is "000". When the time zone offset is absent, date-only forms are interpreted as a UTC time and date-time forms are interpreted as a local time.
A string containing out-of-bounds or nonconforming fields is not a valid instance of this format.
As every day both starts and ends with midnight, the two notations 00:00 and 24:00 are available to distinguish the two midnights that can be associated with one date. This means that the following two notations refer to exactly the same point in time: 1995-02-04T24:00 and 1995-02-05T00:00. This interpretation of the latter form as "end of a calendar day" is consistent with ISO 8601, even though that specification reserves it for describing time intervals and does not permit it within representations of single points in time.
There exists no international standard that specifies abbreviations for civil time zones like CET, EST, etc. and sometimes the same abbreviation is even used for two very different time zones. For this reason, both ISO 8601 and this format specify numeric representations of time zone offsets.
20.3.1.15.1 Expanded Years
Date.parse
Examples of date-time values with expanded years:
| -271821-04-20T00:00:00Z | 271822 B.C. |
| -000001-01-01T00:00:00Z | 2 B.C. |
