## Syntax

```js-nolint
getMilliseconds()

Parameters#

None.

Return value#

An integer, between 0 and 999, representing the milliseconds for the given date according to local time. Returns NaN if the date is invalid.

Examples#

Using getMilliseconds()#

The milliseconds variable has value 0, based on the value of the {{jsxref("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
