JavaScript Date setSeconds() method
setSeconds() method is a Date class method, it is used to set the seconds to the Date object with a valid second value (between 00 to 59).
Note: Seconds value larger than the 59 will be truncated from the starting seconds value (00), for example, we are going to set 61 as a second value, it will be truncated as 1.
Syntax
var dt = new Date();
dt.setSeconds(second);
Examples:
Input/Date class object declaration:
var dt = new Date();
Function call to set the Seconds:
dt.setSeconds(45);
Function call to get the Seconds:
dt.getSeconds();
Output:
45
