If you do not specify the dayValue parameter, the value returned from the method is used.

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