Notes

• Returns 0-59
• Date and hour components are ignored
• For full time formatting, use format() function
• Useful for:
  • Custom time display
  • Time slot validation
  • Duration calculations
  • Schedule adherence checking
• Combine with hourOf() for complete time parsing
• Use padLeft() for zero-padded display (e.g., “05” instead of “5”)
