- Example:
javascript
<script> // 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 document.write(sec);</script> |

The date.getSeconds() method is used to fetch the seconds from given Date object.

DateObj.getSeconds()
Parameter: This function does not accept any parameter.
Return Values: It returns the second for the given date object. Seconds is an integer value ranging from 0 to 59.
More codes for the above method are as follows:
Program 1: Here 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 if date for the month does not exist.
javascript
<script> // 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 document.write(sec);</script> |
Output:
NaN
Program 2: If second is not given, it returns zero (0).
javascript
<script> // 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 document.write(sec);</script> |
Output:
0
Program 3: If nothing as parameter is given to the Date() constructor, it returns current second.
javascript
<script> // Creating a Date Object var DateObj = new Date(); // second from above Date object is being // extracted using getSeconds() var sec = DateObj.getSeconds(); // Printing second document.write(sec);</script> |
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.
javascript
<script> // 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 document.write(sec);</script> |
Output:
0
