JavaScript Date getUTCSeconds() Method
Last Updated :
19 May, 2023
The date.getUTCSeconds() method is used to fetch the second according to universal time from a given Date object (returns a value ranging between 0 to 59).
Syntax:
DateObj.getUTCSeconds();
Parameter: This method does not take any parameter. It is just used along with a Date Object from which we want to fetch the day of the week.
Return Values: It returns the second for the given date object according to universal time. Seconds is an integer value ranging from 0 to 59.
Note: In the above syntax, DateObj is a valid Date object created using the Date() constructor from which we want to fetch a second according to universal time.
Example 1: Below is an example of the Date getUTCSeconds() method.
javascript
let dateobj =
new Date( 'October 15, 1996 05:35:32 UTC' );
let B = dateobj.getUTCSeconds();
console.log(B);
|
Output:
32
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. The second will not be existed according to universal time if the date of the month does not exist.
javascript
let dateobj =
new Date( 'October 33, 1996 05:35:32 UTC' );
let B = dateobj.getUTCSeconds();
console.log(B);
|
Output:
NaN
Example 3: If a second is not given to the Date() constructor while creating a Date object, the getUTCSeconds() method returns zero (0) according to universal time.
javascript
let dateobj =
new Date( 'October 13, 1996 05:35 UTC' );
let B = dateobj.getUTCSeconds();
console.log(B);
|
Output:
0
Example 4: If nothing as a parameter is given to the Date() constructor while creating a Date object, the getUTCSeconds() method returns the current second according to universal time.
javascript
let dateobj = new Date();
let B = dateobj.getUTCSeconds();
console.log(B);
|
Output:
41
Example 5: If a second outside the range [0,59] is given to the Date() constructor while creating a Date object, the getUTCSeconds() method returns 0 as an exception because the second’s range is in between 0 to 59 and 88 is out of this range.
javascript
let dateobj =
new Date( 'October 13, 1996 05:35:88 UTC' );
let B = dateobj.getUTCSeconds();
console.log(B);
|
Output:
0
