Java: Display the dates in the specified formats

Java DateTime, Calendar: Exercise-24 with Solution

Write a Java program to display dates in the following formats.

Sample format:

Default format of LocalDate=2016-09-16            
16::Sep::2016
Default format of LocalDateTime=2016-09-16T11:46:01.455      
16::Sep::2016 11::46::01                                                   
Default format of Instant=2016-09-16T06:16:01.456Z                         
Default format after parsing = 2014-04-27T21:39:48

Sample Solution:

Java Code:

import java.time.Instant;
import java.time.LocalDate;
import java.time.LocalDateTime;
import java.time.format.DateTimeFormatter;

public class DateParseFormatExercise24 {

	public static void main(String[] args) {
		
		//Format examples
		LocalDate date = LocalDate.now();
		//default format
		System.out.println("\nDefault format of LocalDate="+date);
		//specific format
		System.out.println(date.format(DateTimeFormatter.ofPattern("d::MMM::uuuu")));

		LocalDateTime dateTime = LocalDateTime.now();
		//default format
		System.out.println("Default format of LocalDateTime="+dateTime);
		//specific format
		System.out.println(dateTime.format(DateTimeFormatter.ofPattern("d::MMM::uuuu HH::mm::ss")));
   		Instant timestamp = Instant.now();
		//default format
		System.out.println("Default format of Instant="+timestamp);
		
		//Parse examples
		LocalDateTime dt = LocalDateTime.parse("27::Apr::2014 21::39::48",
				DateTimeFormatter.ofPattern("d::MMM::uuuu HH::mm::ss"));
		System.out.println("Default format after parsing = "+dt+"\n");
	}

}

Sample Output:

Default format of LocalDate=2017-06-21                                                                        
21::Jun::2017                                                                                          
Default format of LocalDateTime=2017-06-21T11:46:21.543                                                       
21::Jun::2017 11::46::21                                                                                      
Default format of Instant=2017-06-21T06:16:21.543Z                                                            
Default format after parsing = 2014-04-27T21:39:48
