The date.getUTCMilliseconds() method is used to fetch the millisecond according to universal time from a given Date object (returns a value ranging from 0 to 999).
Syntax:
DateObj.getUTCMilliseconds();
Parameter: This method does not accept any parameter. It is just used along with a Date Object from which we want to fetch milliseconds according to universal time.
Return Values: It returns the millisecond for the given date object according to universal time. Milliseconds is an integer value ranging from 0 to 999.
Note: The DateObj is a valid Date object created using the Date() constructor from which we want to fetch milliseconds according to universal time.
Example 1: Below is an example of the Date getUTCMilliseconds() method.
Javascript
// Here a date has been assigned according // to universal time while creating Date objectlet dateobj = new Date('October 15, 1996 05:35:32:77 GMT+11:00');// millisecond from above date object is// being extracted using getUTCMilliseconds().let B = dateobj.getUTCMilliseconds();// Printing millisecond according // to universal timeconsole.log(B); |
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. Millisecond will not be existed according to universal time if the date of the month does not exist.
Javascript
// Here a date has been assigned according // to universal time while creating Date object.let dateobj = new Date('October 33, 1996 05:35:32:77 GMT+11:00');// millisecond from above date object is// being extracted using getUTCMilliseconds().let B = dateobj.getUTCMilliseconds();// Printing millisecond according // to universal time.console.log(B); |
Output:
NaN
Example 3: If a millisecond is not given to the Date() constructor while creating a Date object, the getUTCMilliseconds() method returns zero (0) according to universal time.
Javascript
// Here a date has been assigned according // to universal time while creating Date objectlet dateobj = new Date('October 13, 1996 05:35:32 GMT+11:00');// millisecond from above date object is// being extracted using getUTCMilliseconds().let B = dateobj.getUTCMilliseconds();// Printing millisecond according // to universal time.console.log(B); |
Output:
0
Example 4: If nothing as a parameter is given to the Date() constructor while creating a Date object, the getUTCMilliseconds() method returns the current millisecond according to universal time.
Javascript
// creating Date objectlet dateobj = new Date();// millisecond from above date object is// being extracted using getUTCMilliseconds().let B = dateobj.getUTCMilliseconds();// Printing current millisecond// according to universal time.console.log(B); |
Output:
566
Example 5: If a millisecond outside the range [0,999] is given to the Date() constructor while creating a Date object, the getUTCMilliseconds() method returns 0 as an exception because the millisecond’s range is in between 0 to 999 and 1003 is out of this range.
Javascript
// Here a date has been assigned according // to universal time while creating Date objectlet dateobj = new Date('October 13, 1996 05:35:32:1003 GMT+11:00');// millisecond from above date object is// being extracted using getUTCMilliseconds().let B = dateobj.getUTCMilliseconds();// Printing millisecond // according to universal time.console.log(B); |
Output:
0
