The now() method of the LocalTime class in Java is used to get the current time from the system clock in the default time-zone.
Syntax:
public static LocalTime now()
Parameters: This method does not accept any parameter.
Return value: This method returns the current time using the system clock and default time-zone.
Below programs illustrate the now() method of LocalTime in Java:
Program 1:
// Java program to demonstrate // LocalTime.now() method   import java.time.*; import java.time.temporal.*;   public class GFG {     public static void main(String[] args)     {           // apply now() method         // of LocalTime class         LocalTime time = LocalTime.now();           // print time         System.out.println( "Time: "                            + time);     } } |
Time: 20:43:41.453
Program 2:
// Java program to demonstrate // LocalTime.now() method   import java.time.*; import java.time.temporal.*;   public class GFG {     public static void main(String[] args)     {           // apply now() method         // of LocalTime class         LocalTime time = LocalTime.now();           // print time         System.out.println( "Time: "                            + time);     } } |
Time: 20:44:06.567
Above two examples show how the output changes for same program as the time progresses.
