Python program to print current hour, minute, second and microsecond

In this article, we are going to discuss how to print current hour, minute, second, and microsecond using Python. In order to print hour, minute and microseconds we need to use DateTime module in Python.

Methods used

• datetime.now().hour(): This method returns the current hour value of the datetime object.
• datetime.now().minute(): This method returns the current minute value of the datetime object.
• datetime.now().second(): This method returns the current second value of the datetime object.
• datetime.now().microsecond(): This method returns the current microsecond value of the datetime object.

Below are the various implementations using examples that depict how to print current hour, minute, second, and microsecond in python.

Example 1: To print time, hour, minute, second, and microsecond

Python3

# importing datetime module
from datetime import datetime

# now is a method in datetime module is
# used to retrieve current data,time
myobj = datetime.now()

# printing current hour using hour
# class
print("Current hour ", myobj.hour)

# printing current minute using minute
# class
print("Current minute ", myobj.minute)

# printing current second using second
# class
print("Current second ", myobj.second)

# printing current microsecond using
# microsecond class
print("Current microsecond ", myobj.microsecond)

Output:

Example 2: To print object, time, hour, minute, second, and microsecond.

Python3

# importing datetime module
from datetime import datetime

# now is a method in datetime module is
# used to retrieve current data,time
myobj = datetime.now()


# printing the object itself
print("Object:", myobj)

# printing current hour using hour
# class
print("Current hour ", myobj.hour)

# printing current minute using minute
# class
print("Current minute ", myobj.minute)

# printing current second using second
# class
print("Current second ", myobj.second)

# printing current microsecond using microsecond
# class
print("Current microsecond ", myobj.microsecond)

Output:
