Below programs illustrate the use of getAmPmStrings() method.
Example 1:
// Java code to demonstrate getAmPmStrings() import java.text.DateFormatSymbols; public class DateFormat_Main { public static void main(String args[]) { int i; // Initializing DateFormatSymbols String AMPM[] = new DateFormatSymbols().getAmPmStrings(); for (i = 0; i < AMPM.length; i++) { // Displaying the AMPM System.out.println("Time " + i + " = " + AMPM[i]); } }} |
Output:
Time 0 = AM Time 1 = PM
Example 2:
// Java code to demonstrate getAmPmStrings() import java.text.DateFormatSymbols; public class DateFormat_Main { public static void main(String args[]) { int i; // Initializing DateFormatSymbols String AMPM[] = new DateFormatSymbols().getAmPmStrings(); for (i = 0; i < AMPM.length / 2; i++) { // Displaying the AMPM System.out.println("Time " + i + " = " + AMPM[i]); } }} |
Output:
Time 0 = AM
