The monthCode
accessor property of calendar-dependent.
Usually it is M
plus a two-digit month number. For leap months, it is the previous month's code followed by L
(even if it's conceptually a derivative of the following month; for example, in the Hebrew calendar, Adar I has code M05L
but Adar II has code M06
). If the leap month is the first month of the year, the code is M00L
.
Because month
is an index within a year, but PlainMonthDay
doesn't have a year, there's no month
property for PlainMonthDay
. Therefore, monthCode
is used to represent the month in a way that is independent of the year.
The set accessor of monthCode
is undefined
. You cannot change this property directly. Use the with()
method to create a new Temporal.PlainMonthDay
object with the desired new value.
