Installation

npm install @stdlib/constants-time-milliseconds-in-day

Usage

var MILLISECONDS_IN_DAY = require( '@stdlib/constants-time-milliseconds-in-day' );

MILLISECONDS_IN_DAY

Number of milliseconds in a day.

var bool = ( MILLISECONDS_IN_DAY === 86400000 );
// returns true

Notes

The value is a generalization and does not take into account inaccuracies due to daylight savings conventions, crossing timezones, or other complications with time and dates.

Examples

var randu = require( '@stdlib/random-base-randu' );
var roundn = require( '@stdlib/math-base-special-roundn' );
var MILLISECONDS_IN_DAY = require( '@stdlib/constants-time-milliseconds-in-day' );

var ms;
var d;
var i;

function days2ms( days ) {
    return days * MILLISECONDS_IN_DAY;
}

for ( i = 0; i < 10; i++ ) {
    d = roundn( randu()*20.0, -2 );
    ms = days2ms( d );
    console.log( '%d days => %d milliseconds', d, ms );
}
