LocalDateTime now() Method in Java


The current date-time can be obtained from the system clock in the default time zone using the now() method in the LocalDateTime class in Java. This method requires no parameters and it returns the current date-time from the system clock in the default time zone

A program that demonstrates this is given as follows −

Example

 Live Demo

import java.time.*;
public class Demo {
   public static void main(String[] args) {
      LocalDateTime ldt = LocalDateTime.now();
      System.out.println("The LocalDateTime is: " + ldt);
   }
}

Output

The LocalDateTime is: 2019-02-18T06:04:31.369

Now let us understand the above program.

The current date-time is obtained from the system clock in the default time zone using the now() method and then it is displayed. A code snippet that demonstrates this is as follows −

LocalDateTime ldt = LocalDateTime.now();
System.out.println("The LocalDateTime is: " + ldt);
