Alternatively,

To load the package in a website via a script tag without installation and bundlers, use the ES Module available on the esm branch (see README).
If you are using Deno, visit the deno branch (see README for usage intructions).
For use in Observable, or in browser/node environments, use the Universal Module Definition (UMD) build available on the umd branch (see README).

The branches.md file summarizes the available branches and displays a diagram illustrating their relationships.

To view installation and usage instructions specific to each branch build, be sure to explicitly navigate to the respective README files on each branch, as linked to above.

Usage

var SECONDS_IN_DAY = require( '@stdlib/constants-time-seconds-in-day' );

SECONDS_IN_DAY

Number of seconds in a day.

var bool = ( SECONDS_IN_DAY === 86400 );
// 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 SECONDS_IN_DAY = require( '@stdlib/constants-time-seconds-in-day' );

var days;
var secs;
var i;

function days2secs( days ) {
    return days * SECONDS_IN_DAY;
}

for ( i = 0; i < 10; i++ ) {
    days = roundn( randu()*20.0, -2 );
    secs = days2secs( days );
    console.log( '%d days => %d seconds', days, secs );
}

Notice

This package is part of stdlib, a standard library for JavaScript and Node.js, with an emphasis on numerical and scientific computing. The library provides a collection of robust, high performance libraries for mathematics, statistics, streams, utilities, and more.
