Date.getUTCMilliseconds() function in JavaScript


The Date object is a data type built into the JavaScript language. Date objects are created with the new Date( ) as shown below.

Once a Date object is created, a number of methods allow you to operate on it. Most methods simply allow you to get and set the year, month, day, hour, minute, second, and millisecond fields of the object, using either local time or UTC (universal, or GMT) time.

The getUTCMilliseconds() function of the Date object returns the milliseconds in the given date according to the universal time.

Syntax

Its Syntax is as follows

dateObj.getUTCMilliseconds();
