Getting wrong date for Javascript Date() function

Question

I am trying to use the "new Date()" function but my dates are not coming out correctly.

This date & time is correct if I use:

new Date(); //outputs Wed Jul 05 2017 13:16:31 GMT-0700 (Pacific Daylight Time)

When I try to change the date, it comes out incorrect:

new Date(2017,07,03,12,01,36); //outputs Thu Aug 03 2017 12:01:36 GMT-0700 (Pacific Daylight Time)

I'm not sure why it says "Aug" when it should be "Jul".

Thanks In Advance!

month is 0-based

new Date(2017,06,03,12,01,36) // Mon Jul 03 2017 12:01:36 GMT-0700 (PDT)

It is because months start from zero. So, if you want July, you have to set month to 06

The month parameter starts at 0, so if you want to put July you must write 6 instead of 7.
