In ZonedDateTime class, there are three types of now() method depending upon the parameters passed to it.
now()now()method of a
ZonedDateTimeclass used to obtain the current date-time from the system clock in the default time-zone.This method will return ZonedDateTime based on system clock with default time-zone to obtain the current date-time. The zone and offset will be set based on the time-zone in the clock.
Syntax:public static ZonedDateTime now()Parameters:
This method accepts no parameter.
Return value:This method returns the current date-time using the system clock. Below programs illustrate the now() method:
Program 1: Java
// Java program to demonstrate
// ZonedDateTime.now() method
import java.time.*;
public class GFG {
public static void main(String[] args)
{
// create an ZonedDateTime object
ZonedDateTime lt
= ZonedDateTime.now();
// print result
System.out.println("ZonedDateTime : "
+ lt);
}
}
Output:
ZonedDateTime : 2019-01-21T05:36:18.973Z[Etc/UTC]now(Clock clock)now(Clock clock)
method of a
ZonedDateTimeclass used to return the current date-time based on the specified clock passed as parameter.The zone and offset will be set based on the time-zone in the clock.
Syntax:public static ZonedDateTime now(Clock clock)Parameters:
This method accepts
clockas parameter which is the clock to use.
Return value:This method returns
the current date-time. Below programs illustrate the now() method:
Program 1: Java
// Java program to demonstrate
// ZonedDateTime.now() method
import java.time.*;
public class GFG {
public static void main(String[] args)
{
// create a clock
Clock cl = Clock.systemUTC();
// create an ZonedDateTime object using now(Clock)
ZonedDateTime lt
= ZonedDateTime.now(cl);
// print result
System.out.println("ZonedDateTime : "
+ lt);
}
}
Output:
ZonedDateTime : 2019-01-21T05:36:25.966Znow(ZoneId zone)now(ZoneId zone)
method of a
ZonedDateTimeclass used to return the current date-time from system clock in the specified time-zone passed as parameter.Specifying the time-zone avoids dependence on the default time-zone. The offset will be calculated from the specified time-zone.
Syntax:public static ZonedDateTime now(ZoneId zone)Parameters:
This method accepts
zoneas parameter which is the zone to use.
Return value:This method returns
the current date-time. Below programs illustrate the now() method:
Program 1: Java
// Java program to demonstrate
// ZonedDateTime.now() method
import java.time.*;
public class GFG {
public static void main(String[] args)
{
// create a clock
ZoneId zid = ZoneId.of("Europe/Paris");
// create an ZonedDateTime object using now(zoneId)
ZonedDateTime lt
= ZonedDateTime.now(zid);
// print result
System.out.println("ZonedDateTime : "
+ lt);
}
}
Output:
ZonedDateTime : 2019-01-21T06:36:30.188+01:00[Europe/Paris]References: https://docs.oracle.com/javase/10/docs/api/java/time/ZonedDateTime.html#now() https://docs.oracle.com/javase/10/docs/api/java/time/ZonedDateTime.html#now(java.time.Clock) https://docs.oracle.com/javase/10/docs/api/java/time/ZonedDateTime.html#now(java.time.ZoneId)
