How can I format the year to show just the last two digits?

If the year is 2015, how can I use the format function to show just "15"?

This doesn't work

info.year.toString().format("%2s")

Ta.

You can use toString().substring( startIdx, endIdx ) to grab just the last two digits.

info.year.toString().substring(2,2);

Why would you convert to a string to do this? It seems much simpler to me...

var two_digit_year = info.year % 100;

or this if you want to avoid the modulus operator.

var century = info.year / 100;
var two_digit_year = info.year - (century * 100);
