Format Seconds in s format in Java

The “s” format for seconds is like representing 1, 2, 3, 4 seconds, etc. We will use it like this.

SimpleDateFormat("s");

Let us see an example −

// displaying seconds in s format
simpleformat = new SimpleDateFormat("s");
String strSeconds = simpleformat.format(new Date());
System.out.println("Seconds in s format = "+strSeconds);

Above, we have used the SimpleDateFormat class, therefore the following package is imported −

import java.text.SimpleDateFormat;

The following is an example −

Example

 Live Demo

import java.text.Format;
import java.text.SimpleDateFormat;
import java.util.Date;
import java.util.Calendar;
public class Demo {
   public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
      // displaying current date and time
      Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();
      SimpleDateFormat simpleformat = new SimpleDateFormat("E, dd MMM yyyy HH:mm:ss");
      System.out.println("Date and time = "+simpleformat.format(cal.getTime()));
      // displaying date
      simpleformat = new SimpleDateFormat("dd/MMMM/yyyy");
      String str = simpleformat.format(new Date());
      System.out.println("Current Date = "+str);
      // current time
      simpleformat = new SimpleDateFormat("HH.mm.ss");
      String strTime = simpleformat.format(new Date());
      System.out.println("Current Time = "+strTime);
      // displaying seconds in s format
      simpleformat = new SimpleDateFormat("s");
      String strSeconds = simpleformat.format(new Date());
      System.out.println("Seconds in s format = "+strSeconds);
   }
}

Output

Date and time = Mon, 26 Nov 2018 10:49:32
Current Date = 26/November/2018
Current Time = 10.49.32
Seconds in s format = 32
