Hello, in this jQuery video, I'm going to show you the named method. This simply returns a number which represents the current time. That's it. So if I were to say for question variable for time, and to use the name ref, he just did dollar dot now takes no parameters. If I console log out the time, let's see what we can save that reload, we get this number, I think, what is it can be changed every time we know we do something. So this is basically epoch time.
For this is, you know, an X amount of seconds since first of June 1970. If you've been in computer science for a while, or you've studied at a degree level, you probably have heard of epoch time, or come across it in some form and you can you know, convert this coin to date. For example, we can get converted online. That's not too much of an issue. And I don't get to see exactly gonna work. Same thing because I've got too many digits fluffiness in milliseconds as well.
So let's have a look. So it's my feeling is correct that. So it was at this point until need to get rid of the last three days so we can get rid of milliseconds, I think see this is ticking up one by one. And that looks you know, more accurate now. Okay, so to human. So this is a 13th of December, which is you know, today's date, as you can see 1:30pm which, you know, he was looking around about that he was at that time when I got it.
So that is epoch time and that's how to get $1 dotnet simple stuff. If you have any questions about either this or just epoch in general. Feel free to pop your message and as you I look forward to seeing you in the next video.
