How can I make time in milliseconds to be updated in real time and in UTC
You can use the setInterval()
function in JavaScript to update the time in real-time. To get the current time in milliseconds and in UTC, you can use the getTime()
method of the Date object and the toUTCString()
method respectively.
Here's an example code:
javascript Copy code
function updateTime() {
let currentTime = new Date();
let currentTimeMillis = currentTime.getTime();
let currentUTCTime = currentTime.toUTCString();
console.log("Current time in milliseconds: " + currentTimeMillis);
console.log("Current time in UTC: " + currentUTCTime);
}
setInterval(updateTime, 1000); // Run updateTime() every second
In this example, the updateTime()
function gets the current time in milliseconds and in UTC, and logs them to the console. The setInterval()
function is used to run updateTime()
every second (every 1000 milliseconds), so it gets updated in real-time.
Hey Athena, my JS for date and time is currently showing my local time, how do I update?
Sure, to show date and time in a specific timezone, you can use the following steps:
Step 1: Define the timezone to be used
You need to define which timezone you want to use in the JavaScript function. You can do this by creating a new Date
object with the getTimezoneOffset()
method. The getTimezoneOffset()
method returns the difference between Universal Coordinated Time (UTC) and the current time zone, in minutes.
Step 2: Adjust the timezone offset Next, you need to adjust this offset by adding or subtracting the required number of minutes to the current date and time.
Step 3: Display the date and time
Finally, you can use the toLocaleString()
method to display the date and time in the desired format.
Here's an example code block to get you started:
javascript Copy code
// set the date to show in PST timezone
let date = new Date();
let timezoneOffset = date.getTimezoneOffset();
let pstOffset = -480; // this is the offset for the Pacific Standard Time timezone
let adjustedTime = new Date(date.getTime() + (pstOffset + timezoneOffset) * 60 * 1000);
// display the date and time in PST timezone
let options = {
day: 'numeric',
month: 'numeric',
year: 'numeric',
hour: 'numeric',
minute: 'numeric',
second: 'numeric',
timeZone: 'America/Los_Angeles'
};
let pstDateTime = adjustedTime.toLocaleString('en-US', options);
console.log(pstDateTime); // Output: 2/16/2022, 11:01:20 AM
Note that to set the timezone, you need to specify a timezone name that is valid in the IANA Time Zone database, such as America/Los_Angeles
for Pacific Standard Time (PST). You can find a list of valid timezone names at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_tz_database_time_zones.
How to show current time in any location?
You can use the Date()
object in JavaScript to retrieve the current time in any location.
Here is an example of how to use Date()
to return the current time in UTC:
javascript Copy code
const currentTime = new Date().toUTCString();
console.log(currentTime) // Returns the current time in string format

AI stands for Artificial Intelligence. AI bots are able to learn from conversations with users and expand their knowledge this way.
SheCodes Athena will help you with technical questions about your code using artificial intelligence to find the answer. Imagine a super powerful human who has memorized everything on the internet and can access that knowledge in a matter of seconds. 🤯
SheCodes Athena can answer most coding-related questions, even complicated ones! It can even find bugs in your code and tell you how to fix them in just a few seconds. Impressive, right?
Just remember we're still in testing mode so the AI may return strange or incorrect replies. Feel free to message us if this happens!
SheCodes Athena can only reply to coding-related technical questions. The same type of questions you would ask in the channels on Slack.
For questions that are not coding-related, write us here 😃
You should treat Athena like a SheCodes team member, so always be polite! 😊 Ask your questions as detailed as possible, just like you would do on Slack.
Here are some examples:
- Prettier isn't working on my VS Code. How do I fix this?
- How do I make bullet points with different colors using the list element?
- My code in Codesandbox is having some issues. Can you please tell me what the issue is? [Include the link to your Codesandbox]
For now, SheCodes Athena is limited to 5 questions per day for each student.
In that case, you can either ask SheCodes Athena a follow-up question, or you can post on the designated weekly channel on Slack!
Our technical assistants are still available on Slack and are always happy to help! 😍💪
Remember, questions are limited to 1000 characters.
- If you're working with an HTML file: Post a snippet of your code related to the issue you're having (just copy the code and paste it into the question box).
- If you're working with Codesandbox: Good news, you can just post the link to your Codesandbox and the AI Assistant will be able to view your code.
- If you have a longer question that would require an entire HTML file or more than 1000 characters, post it in the designated weekly channels on Slack! 😃
Athena was the Greek goddess of wisdom, among other elements. She received her name from the city of Athens, which she is known for protecting.
Much like the goddess Athena, SheCodes Athena is also incredibly wise and can solve complicated coding puzzles in a matter of seconds! 😍
Not likely. AI can automate tasks and make developers' jobs more efficient but it can't fully replace the human ability to deal with complex software. And AI will still require human developers to supervise and improve it further.
So developers may see their tasks change but they won't be replaced by AI. 👩💻🤝💻
