The now(Clock clock) method of the LocalTime class in Java is used to get the current time from the specified clock.
Syntax:
public static LocalTime now(
Clock clock)
Parameters: This method accepts clock as parameter which represents the clock to use.
Return value: This method returns the current time.
Below programs illustrate the now(Clock clock) method of LocalTime in Java:
Program 1:
// Java program to demonstrate// LocalTime.now(Clock clock) method  import java.time.*;import java.time.temporal.*;  public class GFG {    public static void main(String[] args)    {          // apply now(Clock clock) method        // of LocalTime class        LocalTime time = LocalTime.now(            Clock.systemUTC());          // print time        System.out.println("Time: "                           + time);    }} |
Output:
Time: 21:04:28.811
Program 2:
// Java program to demonstrate// LocalTime.now(Clock clock) method  import java.time.*;import java.time.temporal.*;  public class GFG {    public static void main(String[] args)    {          // apply now(Clock clock) method        // of LocalTime class        LocalTime time = LocalTime.now(            Clock.systemUTC());          // print time        System.out.println("Time: "                           + time);    }} |
Output:
Time: 21:05:21.192
Above two examples are taken to show the variance in result for same program according to time progression.
