Output

Please note that the actual output will depend on the current date and time when you run the program.

Notes:

• In this example, the pattern "dd-MM-yyyy hh:mm:ss a" is used to format the date. The "a" represents the AM/PM marker. When you run this code, it will display the current date and time in the specified format, including the AM/PM indicator.
• Note that the "hh" pattern is used for a 12-hour clock format, while "HH" is used for a 24-hour clock format.
