The date.getMilliseconds() method is used to fetch the milliseconds from a given Date object.
Syntax:
DateObj.getMilliseconds()
Parameter: This function does not accept any parameter.
Return values: It returns the millisecond for the given date object. Milliseconds is an integer value ranging from 0 to 999.
Below is the example of Date.getMilliseconds() method.
Example 1:
javascript
// Here a date has been assigned// while creating Date objectlet DateObj = new Date('October 15, 1996 05:35:32:77');// millisecond from above date object is// being extracted using getMilliseconds().let millisec = DateObj.getMilliseconds();// Printing millisecondconsole.log(millisec); |
Output:
77
Example 2: The date of the month should lie between 1 to 31 because none of the months have a date greater than 31 that is why it returns NaN i.e, not a number because the date for the month does not exist.
javascript
// Here a date has been assigned// while creating Date objectlet DateObj = new Date('October 33, 1996 05:35:32:77');// millisecond from above dateobject is// being extracted using getMilliseconds().let millisec = DateObj.getMilliseconds();// Printing millisecondconsole.log(millisec); |
Output:
NaN
Example 3: If a millisecond is not given, it returns zero (0).
javascript
// Here a date has been assigned// while creating Date objectlet DateObj = new Date('October 13, 1996 05:35:32');// millisecond from above dateobject is being// extracted using getMilliseconds()let millisec = DateObj.getMilliseconds();// Printing millisecondconsole.log(millisec); |
Output:
0
Example 4: If nothing as a parameter is given to the Date() constructor, it returns the current millisecond.
javascript
// Creating a Date Objectlet DateObj = new Date();// millisecond from above Date object is being// extracted using getMilliSeconds()let millisec = DateObj.getMilliseconds();// Printing current millisecondconsole.log(millisec); |
Output:
279
Example 5: If a millisecond as 1003 is given while creating the Date object, the function will return 0 as an exception because the milliseconds range is in between 0 to 999 and 1003 is out of this range.
javascript
// Here a date has been assigned// while creating Date objectlet DateObj = new Date('October 13, 1996 05:35:32:1003');// millisecond from above dateobject is being// extracted using getMilliseconds()let millisec = DateObj.getMilliseconds();// Printing millisecondconsole.log(millisec); |
Output:
0
