JavaScript Date getUTCMilliseconds() Method

The getUTCMilliseconds() method in JavaScript is a part of the Date object and is used to get the milliseconds (0-999) for a given date object, in the UTC time zone. This can be useful for getting the milliseconds in a specific time zone, or for working with dates and times in a consistent time zone.

Here’s an example of how to use getUTCMilliseconds() to get the current milliseconds in UTC time:

let date = new Date();
let milliseconds = date.getUTCMilliseconds();
console.log(milliseconds);  // Outputs the current milliseconds in UTC time

You can also pass a date object as an argument to getUTCMilliseconds() to get the milliseconds for a specific date in UTC time:

let date = new Date(2022, 0, 1, 11, 30, 0, 500);  // January 1, 2022 at 11:30:00 (local time)
let milliseconds = date.getUTCMilliseconds();
console.log(milliseconds);  // Outputs 500

Note that the getUTCMilliseconds() method returns the milliseconds as a number between 0 and 999, with 0 representing no milliseconds and 999 representing 999 milliseconds.

In addition to getting the milliseconds, you can also use the setUTCMilliseconds() method to set the milliseconds for a date object in UTC time. Here’s an example of how to use it:

let date = new Date();
date.setUTCMilliseconds(750);  // Set the milliseconds to 750
console.log(date);  // Outputs the current date and time with the milliseconds set to 750 in UTC time
