The result returned by this method is the new time value of the containing object having been adjusted by the values passed in as arguments.
The computations are carried out in UTC time coordinates.
ECMA mandates that the date should be an optional argument. If the date value is omitted, the value is provided internally as if the getUTCDate() method had been called to provide it.
