How To Format Date And Time In Java

            /* ............... START ............... */
                
// Using SimpleDateFormat (Java 7 and earlier):

import java.text.SimpleDateFormat;
import java.util.Date;

public class DateFormatExample {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        // Create a SimpleDateFormat instance with the desired format pattern
        SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss");

        // Get the current date and time
        Date date = new Date();

        // Format the date and time
        String formattedDate = sdf.format(date);

        // Print the formatted date and time
        System.out.println("Formatted Date and Time: " + formattedDate);
    }
}


// Using DateTimeFormatter (Java 8 and later):

import java.time.LocalDateTime;
import java.time.format.DateTimeFormatter;

public class DateTimeFormatExample {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        // Create a DateTimeFormatter instance with the desired format pattern
        DateTimeFormatter formatter = DateTimeFormatter.ofPattern("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss");

        // Get the current date and time
        LocalDateTime dateTime = LocalDateTime.now();

        // Format the date and time
        String formattedDateTime = dateTime.format(formatter);

        // Print the formatted date and time
        System.out.println("Formatted Date and Time: " + formattedDateTime);
    }
}
