got stucked with date() object

hey i was working on Date() object of javascript

when i write

today=new Date();
year=today.getYear();
month=today.getMonth();
day=today.getDay();

here everything was correct but when i print month then i got currentmonth-1 that if the currentmonth is 5 then t get 4

if the current month is 07 then i get 06.


at last i worked by adding 1 with month like month+1

is there any one who faced this problem or know about this problem.

please let me know what is the cause behind this

That's no problem, that's just how it works. getMonth returns 0-11 and not 1-12, just like getDay returns 0-6, and not 1-7.
