[ date->millisecond ]

Method

[Date->Millisecond] is an accessor for getting or setting the millisecond field for a date object.

Getting uses no parameters and returns the millisecond as an integer.

Setting requires an integer parameter, and supports the =, += and -= operators. Setting modifies the date object in-place, but does not return a value.

  • Syntax
Date Object->millisecond
Date Object->millisecond=Integer
Date Object->millisecond+=Integer
Date Object->millisecond-=Integer
Examples

To get or set the millisecond field of a date object:

Use the [Date->Millisecond] method. The following example uses a single date object, then gets the millisecond and returns its value.

Next we set the millisecond field to a new value using the = operator, then set it again by adding 1 to the millisecond using the += operator, and set it once more by subtracting 1 from the millisecond using the -= operator. We return the result for each set operation.

Code

local(d) = date
#d->millisecond + '<br>'
#d->millisecond=5
#d + '<br>'
#d->millisecond+=1
#d + '<br>'
#d->millisecond-=1
#d

Result

In practical usage, the developer would use only the current date for the date object.
