time.Time.Second() Function in Golang with Examples

In Go language, time packages supplies functionality for determining as well as viewing time. The Time.Second() function in Go language is used to find the second offset within the minute as provided by “t” and the range is [0, 59]. Moreover, this function is defined under the time package. Here, you need to import the “time” package in order to use these functions.

Syntax:

func (t Time) Second() int

Here, “t” is the stated time.

Return Value: It returns the second offset within the minute as provided by “t”.

Example 1:

// Golang program to illustrate the usage of
// Time.Second() function

// Including main package
package main

// Importing fmt and time
import "fmt"
import "time"

// Calling main
func main() {

    // Declaring t in UTC
    t := time.Date(2017, 2, 3, 13,
             12, 34, 50, time.UTC)

    // Calling Second method
    sec := t.Second()

    // Prints second as specified
    fmt.Printf("The stated second is: %v\n", sec)
}

Output:

The stated second is: 34

Example 2:

// Golang program to illustrate the usage of
// Time.Second() function

// Including main package
package main

// Importing fmt and time
import "fmt"
import "time"

// Calling main
func main() {

    // Declaring t in UTC
    t := time.Date(2017, 2, 3, 13,
             12, 67, 50, time.UTC)

    // Calling Second method
    sec := t.Second()

    // Prints second as specified
    fmt.Printf("The stated second is: %v\n", sec)
}

Output:

The stated second is: 7

Here, the seconds stated in the above code is out of usual range but it is normalized while conversion.
