45. Print Custom Date Formats

Write a Java program to print yyyy-MM-dd, HH:mm:ss, yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss, E MMM yyyy HH:mm:ss.SSSZ and HH:mm:ss,Z format pattern for date and time.

Sample Solution:

Java Code:

import java.text.SimpleDateFormat; import java.time.LocalDate; import java.time.LocalDateTime; import java.time.LocalTime; import java.time.OffsetDateTime; import java.time.ZonedDateTime; import java.time.OffsetTime; import java.time.format.DateTimeFormatter; import java.util.Date; public class Main { public static void main(String[] args) { String result; //yyyy-MM-dd LocalDate localDate = LocalDate.now(); DateTimeFormatter formatterLocalDate = DateTimeFormatter.ofPattern("yyyy-MM-dd"); result = formatterLocalDate.format(localDate); System.out.println("\nyyyy-MM-dd: " + result); // HH:mm:ss LocalTime localTime = LocalTime.now(); DateTimeFormatter formatterLocalTime = DateTimeFormatter.ofPattern("HH:mm:ss"); result = formatterLocalTime.format(localTime); System.out.println("\nHH:mm:ss: " + result); // yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss LocalDateTime localDateTime = LocalDateTime.now(); DateTimeFormatter formatterLocalDateTime = DateTimeFormatter.ofPattern("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss"); result = formatterLocalDateTime.format(localDateTime); System.out.println("\nyyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss: " + result); // E MMM yyyy HH:mm:ss.SSSZ ZonedDateTime zonedDateTime = ZonedDateTime.now(); DateTimeFormatter formatterZonedDateTime = DateTimeFormatter.ofPattern("E MMM yyyy HH:mm:ss.SSSZ"); result = formatterZonedDateTime.format(zonedDateTime); System.out.println("\nE MMM yyyy HH:mm:ss.SSSZ: " + result); // HH:mm:ss,Z OffsetTime offsetTime = OffsetTime.now(); DateTimeFormatter formatterOffsetTime = DateTimeFormatter.ofPattern("HH:mm:ss,Z"); result = formatterOffsetTime.format(offsetTime); System.out.println("\nHH:mm:ss,Z: " + result); } }

Sample Output:

yyyy-MM-dd: 2021-12-29 HH:mm:ss: 11:02:12 yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss: 2021-12-29 11:02:12 E MMM yyyy HH:mm:ss.SSSZ: Wed Dec 2021 11:02:12.442+0000 HH:mm:ss,Z: 11:02:12,+0000
