Working with Date and Time Objects in the Java 8 Date/Time API

import java.time.*;
public class WorkingWithDateAndTime {
	public static void main (String args[]) {
		// Create a local date time object:
		LocalDateTime today=LocalDateTime.now();
		System.out.format("Current date and time is %s\n", today);
		
		// Create a local time object:
		LocalTime timeNow=LocalTime.now();
		System.out.format("Current time is %s\n", timeNow);
		
		// Create a local date object:
		LocalDate dateToday=LocalDate.now();
		System.out.format("Current date is %s\n" , dateToday);	
		
		// Create a date time object from a date object and a time object:
		LocalDateTime todayFromDateAndTime=LocalDateTime.of(dateToday, timeNow);
		System.out.format("Current date and time date from date and time objects is %s\n", todayFromDateAndTime);
		
		// Create a date time of July 4, 1988 4AM:
		LocalDateTime july4_1988_4AM=LocalDateTime.of(1988, Month.JULY, 4, 4, 0, 0);
		System.out.format("Fourth of July, 1988 at 4AM: %s\n", july4_1988_4AM);
	}
}

The LocalDateTime class can be used to create a date time object. The now method returns an object representing the current date and current time. The LocalTime and LocalDate classes also support a now method that returns the current time or current date, respectively. We also create a date/time object from the local date and time objects using the of method. In addition, you can use the of method to create a date/time object with a past or future value. In the program we create a date time object representing July 4, 1988.
