                                    code
                                




















<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);
