The date.getSeconds() is an inbuilt function in JavaScript which is used to fetch the seconds from given Date object.
Syntax:
DateObj.getSeconds()
In the above syntax, DateObj is a valid Date object created using Date() conctructor from which we want to fetch seconds.
Parameter: This function does not takes any parameter. It is just used along with a Date Object from which we want to fetch seconds.
Return Values: It returns the second for the given date object. Seconds is an integer value ranging from 0 to 59.
Below program illustrate the getSeconds() method:
// Here a date has been assigned // while creating Date object var DateObj = new Date( 'October 15, 1996 05:35:32' ); // second from above Date object is being // extracted using getSeconds() var sec = DateObj.getSeconds(); // Printing second console.log(sec); |
Output:
32
Errors and Exceptions:
- Program 1: Here date of the month should must lie in between 1 to 31 because none of the month have date greater than 31 that is why it returns NaN i.e, not a number because if date for the month does not exist.
// Here a date has been assigned
// while creating Date object
var
DateObj =
new
Date(
'October 33, 1996 05:35:32'
);
// second from above Date object is being
// extracted using getSeconds()
var
sec = DateObj.getSeconds();
// Printing second
console.log(sec);
Output:
NaN
- Program 2: If second is not given, it returns zero (0).
// Here a date has been assigned
// while creating Date object
var
DateObj =
new
Date(
'October 13, 1996 05:35'
);
// second from above Date object is being
// extracted using getSeconds()
var
sec = DateObj.getSeconds();
// Printing second
console.log(sec);
Output:
0
- Program 3: If nothing as parameter is given to the Date() constructor, it returns current second.
// Creating a Date Object
var
DateObj =
new
Date();
// second from above Date object is being
// extracted using getSeconds()
var
sec = DateObj.getSeconds();
// Printing second
console.log(sec);
Output:
8
- Program 4: If second is 88, it return 0 as exception because seconds range is in between 0 to 59 and 88 is out of this range.
// Here a date has been assigned
// while creating Date object
var
DateObj =
new
Date(
'October 13, 1996 05:35:88'
);
// second from above Date object is being
// extracted using getSeconds()
var
sec = DateObj.getSeconds();
// Printing second
console.log(sec);
Output:
0
Application: It has many applications such as getting current Second. Below program shows one of the application of this function. It gives the current Second.
// Creating Date Object var DateObj = new Date(); // second from above Date Obect is // being extracted using getSeconds() var sec = DateObj.getSeconds(); // Printing second console.log(sec); |
Output:
8
