Syntax of DateTime.second

The syntax of DateTime.second property is:

 int second

This second property of DateTime the second [0...59].

Return Type

✐ Examples

1 Get the second of the current DateTime

In this example,

We create a DateTime object dt using the DateTime.now() constructor, which represents the current date and time.
We then access the second property of dt to get the second.
We print the result to standard output.

Dart Program

void main() {
  var dt = DateTime.now();
  print(dt.second);
}

Output

36
(Output varies depending on the current date and time.)

2 Get the second of a specific DateTime in UTC

In this example,

We create a DateTime object dt using the DateTime.utc() constructor, specifying the year, month, day, hour, minute, and second.
We then access the second property of dt to get the second.
We print the result to standard output.

Dart Program

void main() {
  var dt = DateTime.utc(2024, 5, 3, 10, 15, 30);
  print(dt.second);
}

Output

3 Get the second of a parsed DateTime

In this example,

We create a DateTime object dt by parsing a date-time string '2024-05-03T10:15:30' using the DateTime.parse() method.
We then access the second property of dt to get the second.
We print the result to standard output.

Dart Program

void main() {
  var dt = DateTime.parse('2024-05-03T10:15:37');
  print(dt.second);
}

Output
