Frequently Asked Questions

How many milliseconds are in a second?

There are exactly 1,000 milliseconds in one second. The prefix "milli" means one thousandth (1/1000).

Why are milliseconds important in programming?

Milliseconds provide precise timing for animations, timeouts, performance measurements, and real-time applications where accuracy is crucial.

What is 60 FPS in milliseconds?

60 frames per second means each frame takes approximately 16.67 milliseconds (1000ms ÷ 60 frames = 16.67ms per frame).

How precise can timing measurements be?

Modern systems can measure time in microseconds (μs) and nanoseconds (ns), but milliseconds are sufficient for most applications and human perception.
