  Output:

  42
  3
  1
  2018

  Here 42 is the new seconds, 3 is the current month i.e April, 1 is the current date and 2018 is the current year according to universal time.

• Example 3: If value of second 66 is given as the parameter of setSeconds() function, It will set 6 as the second because second range is form 0 to 59 and hence , here 60 is substracted because 0 to 59 is 60.
