# Seconds in a Minute > Number of seconds in a minute.
## Usage ```javascript var SECONDS_IN_MINUTE = require( '@stdlib/constants/time/seconds-in-minute' ); ``` #### SECONDS_IN_MINUTE Number of seconds in a minute. ```javascript var bool = ( SECONDS_IN_MINUTE === 60 ); // returns true ```
## Notes - The value is a generalization and does **not** take into account inaccuracies arising due to complications with time and dates.
## Examples ```javascript var randu = require( '@stdlib/random/base/randu' ); var roundn = require( '@stdlib/math/base/special/roundn' ); var SECONDS_IN_MINUTE = require( '@stdlib/constants/time/seconds-in-minute' ); var secs; var mins; var i; function mins2secs( mins ) { return mins * SECONDS_IN_MINUTE; } for ( i = 0; i < 10; i++ ) { mins = roundn( randu()*20.0, -2 ); secs = mins2secs( mins ); console.log( '%d minutes => %d seconds', mins, secs ); } ```
