import java.io.*;
public class GFG {
public static void main(String[] argv)
{
MessageFormat mf
= new MessageFormat("{ 0 , date, #}, { 0 , number, #.##}, { 0 , time}");
System.out.println("pattern : "
+ mf.toPattern());
Format[] formats = mf.getFormats();
System.out.println("\nRequired Formats are : ");
for ( int i = 0 ; i < formats.length; i++)
System.out.println(formats[i]);
}
}

Output:
pattern : {0, date, #}, {0, number, #0.##}, {0, time}
Required Formats are :

public class GFG {
public static void main(String[] argv)
{
MessageFormat mf
= new MessageFormat("{ 1 , number, integer}");
System.out.println("pattern : "
+ mf.toPattern());
Format[] formats = mf.getFormats();
System.out.println("\nRequired Formats are : ");
for ( int i = 0 ; i < formats.length; i++)
