How to get system time?

Question

I want to get the current year, month, day, hour, minute second, and millisecond in javascript.

I am also using p5.js, if that has any helper methods.

This is what I want:

Year=2018

Month=4

Day=20

Hour=10

Minute=15

Second=25

Millisecond=236

Questions like this are best answered by reading through the P5.js reference.

Specifically, look at the Time and Date section, which lists exactly the functions you're looking for.

Oooh sorry, I thought that those returned values since the start of the program. – mackycheese21 May 01 '18 at 18:14
@mackycheese21 The `millis()` function does. But you can also google something like "JavaScript get milliseconds" for a ton of resources. – Kevin Workman May 01 '18 at 18:35
