The getUTCSeconds method returns, according to universal time, the seconds value of the point in time stored in a Date object. The value returned by this method is an integer number from 0 to 59.
Syntax
myDate.getUTCSeconds()
With myDate being an object based on the Date object.
Instead of being instantiated from a class, in JavaScript objects are created by replicating other objects. This paradigm is called Prototype-based programming.
Example
The following code uses the getUTCSeconds method to return, according to universal time, the seconds of the current time:
<script type="text/javascript">
var currentTime = new Date();
var universalCurrentSeconds = currentTime.getSeconds();
document.write("According to universal time, the seconds passed since the last minute are: " + universalCurrentSeconds + ".");
</script>
var currentTime = new Date();
var universalCurrentSeconds = currentTime.getSeconds();
document.write("According to universal time, the seconds passed since the last minute are: " + universalCurrentSeconds + ".");
</script>
