If you do not specify the monthValue and dateValue parameters, the values returned from the and methods are used.

If a parameter you specify is outside of the expected range, setFullYear() attempts to update the other parameters and the date information in the object accordingly. For example, if you specify 15 for monthValue, the year is incremented by 1 (yearValue + 1), and 3 is used for the month.
