How can I get todays timestamp at 4pm?

Question

I am looking for a way to receive the timestamp of today's 4pm in JavaScript.

When I use this code

Math.floor(Date.now() / 1000);

it give me the current timestamp. How can I specify just the hour to be static, the rest to rely on the current day?

Answer 1

Try:

var date = new Date();
date.setHours(16);
date.setMinutes(0);
date.setSeconds(0);
Math.floor(date.getTime() / 1000);

Answer 2

Here is the code to do that:

var d = new Date();//stores current date time

d.setHours(16);//4pm = 16 in 24 hour time

Now when you'll type console.log(d), you'll get the following required result. Tue May 12 2015 20:58:24 GMT+0500 (PKT)

Answer 3

You can do this by getting the current DateTime and change the hour, code:

var d = new Date();
d.setHours(16,0,0,0);//The setHours method can take optional minutes, seconds and ms arguments, but you can also do setHours(16)
Math.floor(d / 1000);

Answer 4

Instantiate a Date object and set the hours like so:

var d = new Date;
d.setHours(16);
