What’s the difference between JavaScript’s getYear() and getFullYear() functions?

It just makes no sense to me to get part of a year.

Back in the day, when memory was expensive and the Year 2000 was far in the future, it did make sense for people to represent 1975 as 75. In retrospect a short-sighted decision.

date.getFullYear() == date.getYear() + 1900
