# Date.prototype.setUTCMilliseconds()

The **`setUTCMilliseconds()`** method sets the milliseconds for
a specified date according to universal time.

## Syntax

```js
setUTCMilliseconds(millisecondsValue)
```

### Parameters

- `millisecondsValue`
  - : A number between 0 and 999, representing the milliseconds.

### Return value

The number of milliseconds between 1 January 1970 00:00:00 UTC and the updated date.

## Description

If a parameter you specify is outside of the expected range,
`setUTCMilliseconds()` attempts to update the date information in the
`Date` object accordingly. For example, if you use 1100 for
`millisecondsValue`, the seconds stored in the `Date`
object will be incremented by 1, and 100 will be used for milliseconds.
