    public static void main(String[] args) 
        throws InterruptedException 
    { 
        SimpleDateFormat SDFormat 
            = new SimpleDateFormat(); 
  
        // Initializing calender Object 
        Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance(); 
  
        // Using the following pattern 
        String new_pat = "MM / dd / yy HH:mm Z"; 
  
        // Use of applyLocalizedPattern() 
        SDFormat.applyLocalizedPattern(new_pat);

            = new SimpleDateFormat(); 
  
        // Applying LocalizedPattern 
        SDFormat.applyLocalizedPattern("dd"); 
        String str = SDFormat.format(new Date()); 
  
        // Printing todays date
