<![CDATA[
Syntax
date.setYear(year)
The setYear() method sets the year in the Date object to the argument year. The argument can be either a four-digit or two-digit integer.
To create a two-digit representation, subtract 1900 from the desired date. The method returns an integer representing the number of milliseconds between midnight January 1, 1970 (GMT) to the new date.
