Examples

Using getMilliseconds()

The milliseconds variable has value 0, based on the value of the Date object xmas95, which doesn't specify the milliseconds component, so it defaults to 0.

const xmas95 = new Date("1995-12-25T23:15:30");
const milliseconds = xmas95.getMilliseconds();

console.log(milliseconds); // 0
