How to Get the current date and time

[JavaPF]

This code will print the current Date and Time to the console.

import java.text.SimpleDateFormat;
import java.util.Calendar;
 
public class DateAndTime{
 
 public static final String DATE_FORMAT_NOW = "dd-MM-yyyy HH:mm:ss";
 public static String dt;
 
 public static String DateTime() 
 {
     Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();
     SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat(DATE_FORMAT_NOW);
     return sdf.format(cal.getTime());
 }
 
 public static void main(String[] args){
 
  DateAndTime dAT = new DateAndTime();
  dt = dAT.DateTime();
 
  System.out.println(dt);
 
 }
}

Output example:

19-05-2008 13:35:07

Very good, but the time is a hour late,
however most likely it is because we have day light saving (Summer in New Zealand)

There are a lot of dreamer running the radio station, wanting a white (Snow) Christmas
