The
format()method of
ZonedDateTimeclass in Java is used to format this date-time using the specified formatter passed as parameter.This date-time will be passed to the formatter to produce a string.
Syntax:public String format(DateTimeFormatter formatter)Parameters:
This method accepts a single parameter
formatterwhich represents the formatter to use. This is a mandatory parameter and should not be NULL.
Return value:This method returns a
Stringrepresents the formatted date-time string.
Exception:This method throws a
DateTimeExceptionif an error occurs during printing. Below programs illustrate the format() method:
Program 1: Java
// Java program to demonstrate
// ZonedDateTime.format() method
import java.time.*;
import java.time.format.*;
public class GFG {
public static void main(String[] args)
{
// create ZonedDateTime objects
ZonedDateTime zoneddatetime
= ZonedDateTime.parse("2018-12-06T19:21:12.123+05:30[Asia/Calcutta]");
// create a formatter
DateTimeFormatter formatter = DateTimeFormatter.ISO_TIME;
// apply format()
String value = zoneddatetime.format(formatter);
// print result
System.out.println("Result: " + value);
}
}
Output:
Result: 19:21:12.123+05:30Program 2: Java
// Java program to demonstrate
// ZonedDateTime.format() method
import java.time.*;
import java.time.format.*;
public class GFG {
public static void main(String[] args)
{
// create ZonedDateTime objects
ZonedDateTime zoneddatetime
= ZonedDateTime.parse("2018-10-25T23:12:31.123+02:00[Europe/Paris]");
// create a formatter
DateTimeFormatter formatter = DateTimeFormatter.BASIC_ISO_DATE;
// apply format()
String value = zoneddatetime.format(formatter);
// print result
System.out.println("Result: " + value);
}
}
Output:
Result: 20181025+0200Reference: https://docs.oracle.com/javase/10/docs/api/java/time/ZonedDateTime.html#format(java.time.format.DateTimeFormatter)
