• 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

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 );
}
