How can I convert the (fractional) result of `new Date().getTime() / 1000` into a whole number?

Question

According to this: Get current date/time in seconds

var seconds = new Date().getTime() / 1000; gives you the time in seconds. But the time given is a decimal number. How can I turn it into whole number?

Answer 1

You do Math.round(new Date().getTime() / 1000) or a short (and faster version):

new Date().getTime() / 1000 | 0

Using this binary operator will zero the floating number part of your number (and therefore round it down).
