As time module provides various time-related functions. So it is necessary to import the time module otherwise it will through error because of the definition of time.strftime(format[, t]) is present in time module.
time.strftime(format[, t]) function convert a tuple or struct_time representing a time as returned by gmtime() or localtime() to a string as specified by the format argument.
If t is not provided, the current time as returned by localtime() is used. The format must be a string. ValueError is raised if any field in t is outside of the allowed range.
Note:
0 is a legal argument for any position in the time tuple; if it is normally illegal the value is forced to a correct one.
Syntax: time.strftime(format[, t])
Parameters :
t – time in number of seconds to be formatted
format – This is of string type. i.e. the directives can be embedded in the format string.
Return value: None
There are many directives that can be embedded in the format string, you can refer them here.
Notes:
- When used with the strptime() function, the %p directive only affects the output hour field if the %I directive is used to parse the hour.
- The range really is 0 to 61; value 60 is valid in timestamps representing leap seconds and value 61 is supported for historical reasons.
- When used with the strptime() function, %U and %W are only used in calculations when the day of the week and the year are specified.
Below is the implementation:
