# Milliseconds in an Hour > Number of milliseconds in an hour.
## Usage ```javascript var MILLISECONDS_IN_HOUR = require( '@stdlib/constants/time/milliseconds-in-hour' ); ``` #### MILLISECONDS_IN_HOUR Number of milliseconds in an hour. ```javascript var bool = ( MILLISECONDS_IN_HOUR === 3600000 ); // 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 ```javascript var randu = require( '@stdlib/random/base/randu' ); var roundn = require( '@stdlib/math/base/special/roundn' ); var MILLISECONDS_IN_HOUR = require( '@stdlib/constants/time/milliseconds-in-hour' ); var ms; var h; var i; function hrs2ms( hrs ) { return hrs * MILLISECONDS_IN_HOUR; } for ( i = 0; i < 10; i++ ) { h = roundn( randu()*20.0, -2 ); ms = hrs2ms( h ); console.log( '%d hours => %d milliseconds', h, ms ); } ```
