Conditional Output Based on Current Second of the Clock

Created by Jose Fabian Solano, Modified on Wed, 3 Apr at 10:03 PM by Jose Fabian Solano

This code aims to perform a specific action based on the current second of the clock. Let's break down what each part does:

1. `var current = new Date();`: This line creates a new Date object representing the current date and time.

2. `var seconds = current.getSeconds();`: Here, the current second of the current time is obtained by extracting it from the previously created Date object.

3. `if (seconds == 01) { ... } else { ... }`: This is a conditional structure that checks if the current second is equal to 01. If so, the code block inside the first set of curly braces `{ ... }` is executed, and if not, the code block inside the second set of curly braces `{ ... }` is executed.

- In the `if` block: `$.output = {value: AverageRandomInt1.value, timestamp: AverageRandomInt1.ts}`: If the current second is equal to 01, the value and timestamp of the AverageRandomInt1 variable are assigned to the output. This means that the action performed in this case depends on the AverageRandomInt1 variable.

- In the `else` block: `$.output = {value: 0}`: If the current second is not equal to 01, zero is assigned as the output value. This indicates that if the second is not equal to 01, the same action as in the `if` block is not executed, and instead zero is assigned as the output value.

In summary, this code is designed to perform a specific action based on the current second of the clock. If the second is equal to 01, the value and timestamp of a specific variable are used as output. Otherwise, zero is assigned as the output value.


Code:


//***************************************************************************************************************************//


var current = new Date();
var seconds = current.getSeconds();

if (seconds==01){

$.output = {value: AverageRandomInt1.value, timestamp: AverageRandomInt1.ts}
}else{
$.output = {value: 0}
}
