Program:

            /* ............... START ............... */
                
import time

current_time_ms = round(time.time() * 1000)

print(current_time_ms)

                /* ............... END ............... */
        

Output

This code will output the current time in milliseconds since the epoch. Note that the value returned by time() 
may not have millisecond precision, so the result may be slightly off from the exact millisecond value.

Notes:

• This is a Python program that retrieves the current time in milliseconds and prints it to the console. It uses the built-in time module to get the current time as the number of seconds since the epoch, which is January 1, 1970, 00:00:00 UTC.
• The program then multiplies the number of seconds by 1000 to convert it to milliseconds, rounds the result to the nearest integer using the round() function, and assigns the value to the current_time_ms variable.
• Finally, the program prints the value of the current_time_ms variable to the console using the print() function. This value represents the number of milliseconds that have elapsed since the epoch up to the current time.
