JavaScript getUTCSeconds(): Get the UTC Seconds
The JavaScript getUTCSeconds() method is used to get the seconds (0-59) of the UTC time. UTC stands for Universal Time Coordinated, which is the same as Greenwich Mean Time (GMT). Here is an example of how to use getUTCSeconds() to print the seconds of the UTC time:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<p id="xyz"></p>
<script>
const d = new Date();
let min = d.getUTCSeconds();
document.getElementById("xyz").innerHTML = min;
</script>
</body>
</html>The preceding example shows how to use JavaScript's getUTCSeconds() function to retrieve the second value of the current UTC time.
In the above example, using the following statement,
const d = new Date();
A new "Date" object is created and assigned to the constant variable "d." The "Date" object represents the current date and time.
The function getUTCSeconds() is then called on the "d" object, and the result is saved in the "min" variable. This function returns the current UTC time in seconds.
The value of the "min" variable is then set as the "innerHTML" property of the "p" element with the ID "xyz." On the web page, this displays the second value.
Therefore, when the code is executed, the value of the "min" variable (current UTC seconds) is displayed on the web page.
JavaScript getUTCSeconds() syntax
The syntax of the getUTCSeconds() method in JavaScript is:
x.getUTCSeconds()
where x must be an object of the Date() constructor.
The getUTCSeconds() method returns a number from 0 to 59, which will be the seconds of a date.
Advantages of the getUTCSeconds() function in JavaScript
- The getUTCSeconds() function returns the exact seconds component of a date in the UTC timezone, making it ideal for time-critical applications.
- All modern browsers support this function, and it can be used on any device that supports JavaScript.
- The getUTCSeconds() function is simple to use and requires little setup.
Disadvantages of the getUTCSeconds() function in JavaScript
- Only the seconds component of a date in the UTC timezone is returned by this function. Additional methods will be required if you need to work with time zones or other date components.
- The getUTCSeconds() function only returns the seconds component of a date in the UTC timezone, and no timezone conversion is performed. You'll need to use additional methods or libraries if you need to work with local time or other timezones.
- The getUTCSeconds() function does not return fractional seconds and only returns the whole number of seconds. Additional methods or libraries will be required if you require more precise time representation.
