Understand with Example

In this Tutorial we want to describe you a code that helps you in understanding in a Getting Time and Date. For this we have a class 'GetTimeAndDate'.Inside the main method we declared a string variable, formatter and instantiate a date class.

1)Date ( ) - This is used to instantiate the date class and allocate the memory to a date object, such that it represent the time allocated to it in the nearest millisecond.

2)SimpleDateFormat- is a formatting concrete class that helps you in parsing date in a locale-sensitive manner. This allows you to format (date -> text), parsing (text -> date), and normalization.

3)format(date) -This method return you a formatted object to a string and stored in a string variable s.

Finally the System.out .println print the Date, Time and date-time altogether.

GetTimeAndDate.java




import java.util.*;

import java.text.*;



public class GetTimeAndDate {



  public static void main(String args[]) {



  String s;

  Format formatter;

  Date date = new Date();



  formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("dd/MMM/yyyy");

  s = formatter.format(date);

  System.out.println("Date : " + s);



  formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("hh:mm:ss a");

  s = formatter.format(date);

  System.out.println("Time : " + s);



  formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("dd MMMM yyyy HH:mm:ss");

  s = formatter.format(date);

  System.out.println("Time : " + s);

  }

}
