Java Program to Display time in different country’s format

In this article, we will understand how to display time in different country’s format. Java does not have a built-in Date class, but we can import the java.time package to work with the date and time API. The package includes many date and time classes.

Below is a demonstration of the same −

Suppose our input is −

Run the program

The desired output would be −

The England Format is: Friday, 18 March 2022
The Italian Format is: venerdì, 18 marzo 2022

Algorithm

Step 1 - START
Step 2 - Declare an object of LocalDateTime namely date.
Step 3 - Define the values.
Step 4 - Define different date time formats using DateTimeFormatter objects.
Step 5 - Display the different date time formats of different countries.
Step 6 - Stop

Example 1

Here, we bind all the operations together under the ‘main’ function.

import java.text.DateFormat;
import java.util.*;
public class Demo {
   public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception{
      System.out.println("The required packages have been imported");
      Date date_time = new Date();
      Locale England_time = new Locale("en", "ch");
      DateFormat de = DateFormat.getDateInstance(DateFormat.FULL, England_time);
      System.out.println("\nThe England Format is: " + de.format(date_time));
      Locale Italy_time = new Locale("it", "ch");
      DateFormat di = DateFormat.getDateInstance(DateFormat.FULL, Italy_time);
      System.out.println("The Italian Format is: " + di.format(date_time));
   }
}

Output

The required packages have been imported

The England Format is: Tuesday, March 29, 2022
The Italian Format is: marted?, 29. marzo 2022

Example 2

Here, we encapsulate the operations into functions exhibiting object oriented programming.

import java.text.DateFormat;
import java.util.*;
public class Demo {
   static void Time_formats(Date date_time ){
      Locale England_time = new Locale("en", "ch");
      DateFormat de = DateFormat.getDateInstance(DateFormat.FULL, England_time);
      System.out.println("\nThe England Format is: " + de.format(date_time));
      Locale Italy_time = new Locale("it", "ch");
      DateFormat di = DateFormat.getDateInstance(DateFormat.FULL, Italy_time);
      System.out.println("The Italian Format is: " + di.format(date_time));
   }
   public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception{
      System.out.println("The required packages have been imported");
      Date date_time = new Date();
      System.out.println("A date object has been defined");
      Time_formats(date_time);
   }
}

Output

The required packages have been imported

The England Format is: Tuesday, March 29, 2022
