Using getMilliseconds()
The milliseconds variable has value 0, based on the value of the Date object xmas95, which doesn’t specify the milliseconds component, so it defaults to 0.
const xmas95 = new Date("1995-12-25T23:15:30");
const milliseconds = xmas95.getMilliseconds();
console.log(milliseconds); // 0
