JavaScript | date.getUTCMilliseconds() Function

The date.getUTCMilliseconds() is an inbuilt function in JavaScript which is used to fetch the millisecond according to universal time from a given Date object.

Syntax:

DateObj.getUTCMilliseconds();

In the above syntax, DateObj is a valid Date object created using Date() conctructor from which we want to fetch millisecond accoding to universal time.

Parameter: This function does not takes any parameter. It is just used along with a Date Object from which we want to fetch millisecond 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.

Below program illustrate the getUTCMilliseconds() method:

Output:

77

Errors and Exceptions:

• Code #1: The 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 date for the month does not exist. Millisecond will not be existed according to universal time if the date of the month does not exists.

  // Here a date has been assigned according to universal // time while creating Date object. var dateobj = new Date('October 33, 1996 05:35:32:77 GMT+11:00');    // millisecond from above date object is // being extracted using getUTCMilliseconds(). var B = dateobj.getUTCMilliseconds();    // Printing millisecond according to universal time. console.log(B);

  Output:

  NaN

• Code #2: If millisecond is not given to the Date() constructor while creating a Date object, the getUTCMilliseconds() function returns zero (0) according to universal time.

  // Here a date has been assigned according to universal // time while creating Date object var dateobj = new Date('October 13, 1996 05:35:32 GMT+11:00');    // millisecond from above date object is // being extracted using getUTCMilliseconds(). var B = dateobj.getUTCMilliseconds();    // Printing millisecond according  // to universal time. console.log(B);

  Output:

  0

• Code #3: If nothing as parameter is given to the Date() constructor while creating a Date object, the getUTCMilliseconds() function returns current millisecond according to universal time.

  // creating Date object var dateobj = new Date();    // millisecond from above date object is // being extracted using getUTCMilliseconds(). var B = dateobj.getUTCMilliseconds();    // Printing current millisecond // according to universal time. console.log(B);

  Output:

  566

• Code #4: If millisecond outside the range [0,999] is given to the Date() constructor while creating a Date object, the getUTCMilliseconds() function return 0 as exception because milliseconds range is in between 0 to 999 and 1003 is out of this range.

  // Here a date has been assigned according to universal // time while creating Date object var dateobj = new Date('October 13, 1996 05:35:32:1003 GMT+11:00');    // millisecond from above date object is // being extracted using getUTCMilliseconds(). var B = dateobj.getUTCMilliseconds();    // Printing millisecond  // according to universal time. console.log(B);

  Output:

  0
