how to get milliseconds in javascript
To get the current time in milliseconds in JavaScript, you can use the Date.now() method or the getTime() method of a Date object. Both will give you the number of milliseconds since January 1, 1970, 00:00:00 UTC.
Hereβs how to do it using both methods:
Using Date.now():
javascript Copy code
let currentMilliseconds = Date.now();
console.log(currentMilliseconds);
Using new Date() and getTime():
javascript Copy code
let currentMilliseconds = new Date().getTime();
console.log(currentMilliseconds);
Both of these will output the current time in milliseconds. You can try running these in your browser's console.
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.
when using a getdate function the time does not reflect the first decimalminute when zero
The getdate() function in programming languages, such as JavaScript, can be used to return the date and time values for a timestamp. The function only returns full minute values. To get more granular between minutes, consider using the getTime() function, which returns the number of milliseconds since midnight January 1, 1970 (the Epoch). For example, the following code returns the current timestamp in milliseconds in JavaScript:
js Copy code
let date = new Date();
let timestamp = date.getTime();

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. π€―
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 π
You should treat Athena like a SheCodes team member, so always be polite! π 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! ππͺ
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! π
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! π
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. π©βπ»π€π»
