# SecondOf (SecondOfTheMinute)

The **SecondOf** function returns the seconds of the minute represented by the specified **TDateTime** value **AValue**.

**SecondOf** returns an integer value from 0 through 59 only.

**Declaration**: Function SecondOf( const AValue : TDateTime) : Word;

Function SecondOfTheMinute( const AValue : TDateTime) : Word;

An example of its use.

```pascal
procedure ScriptEvent (var Value : variant);
var
  vSec : string;
begin
 //Get the number of seconds within the specified time
  vSec := IntToStr(SecondOf(Now));
  LogInfo('Number of seconds is        : ' + vSec);
  LogInfo('');
end;
```

**SecondOf** has the same functionality as the **SecondOfTheMinute** function.
