# Seconds in a Day > Number of seconds in a day.
## Usage ```javascript var SECONDS_IN_DAY = require( '@stdlib/constants/time/seconds-in-day' ); ``` #### SECONDS_IN_DAY Number of seconds in a day. ```javascript 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 ```javascript 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 ); } ```
