ZonedDateTime format() method in Java with Examples
The format() method of ZonedDateTime class in Java is used to format this date-time using the specified formatter passed as parameter.This date-time will be passed to the formatter to produce a string.
Syntax:

Parameters: This method accepts a single parameter formatter which represents the formatter to use. This is a mandatory parameter and should not be NULL.
Return value: This method returns a String represents the formatted date-time string.
Exception: This method throws a DateTimeException if an error occurs during printing.
Below programs illustrate the format() method:
Program 1:
import java.time.*;
import java.time.format.*;
public class GFG {
public static void main(String[] args)
{
ZonedDateTime zoneddatetime
= ZonedDateTime.parse( "2018-12-06T19:21:12.123+05:30[Asia/Calcutta]" );
DateTimeFormatter formatter = DateTimeFormatter.ISO_TIME;
String value = zoneddatetime.format(formatter);
System.out.println( "Result: " + value);
}
}
|
Output:
Result: 19:21:12.123+05:30
Program 2:
import java.time.*;
import java.time.format.*;
public class GFG {
public static void main(String[] args)
{
ZonedDateTime zoneddatetime
= ZonedDateTime.parse( "2018-10-25T23:12:31.123+02:00[Europe/Paris]" );
DateTimeFormatter formatter = DateTimeFormatter.BASIC_ISO_DATE;
String value = zoneddatetime.format(formatter);
System.out.println( "Result: " + value);
}
}

Output:
Result: 20181025+0200
