Java Date-Time format confusion

I have a date-time string like 2013-10-23 10:10:04.0. I'm kind of confused by what the extra zero signifies at the end of the string?

Does it denote the time zone or something else? I saw documentation on the different characters for the Java DateTime format, but I'm not sure what it is in the string above?

It's milliseconds.

The format for the date is yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.S, where S is the millisecond.

So .002 would be two milliseconds and .200 would be two hundred milliseconds.

Ussually, the date time format is denoted by

yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.S where S (the last part of the format) are the milliseconds, in this case, .2 whould be 200 milliseconds.

Taje a look at SimpleDateFormat docs, and the patterns
