Sets the milliseconds of a date object, according to universal time
The setUTCMilliseconds() method sets the milliseconds for a specified date according to universal time.
var date1 = new Date('2018-01-24T12:38:29.069Z');

// expected output: 69
date1.setUTCMilliseconds(420);
console.log(date1.getUTCMilliseconds());
// expected output: 420
Syntax
dateObj.setUTCMilliseconds(millisecondsValue)
Parameters
millisecondsValue
A number between 0 and 999, representing the milliseconds.
Return value
The number of milliseconds between 1 January 1970 00:00:00 UTC and the updated date.
Description
If a parameter you specify is outside of the expected range, setUTCMilliseconds()
attempts to update the date information in the Date
object accordingly. For example, if you use 1100 for millisecondsValue
, the seconds stored in the Date
object will be incremented by 1, and 100 will be used for milliseconds.
Examples
Using setUTCMilliseconds()
setUTCMilliseconds()
var theBigDay = new Date();
theBigDay.setUTCMilliseconds(500);
