LocalTime now() method in Java with Examples

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);
    }
}


Output: It varies as the time passes.

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);
    }
}


Output: It varies as the time passes.

Time: 20:44:06.567

Above two examples show how the output changes for same program as the time progresses.
