2	y To display Year. Vapd values yy, yyyy.
3	M To display Month. Vapd values MM, MMM or MMMMM.

17	K To display Hour in day, AM / PM (0-11).
18	z To display Time Zone.

In this example, we re formatting dates based on different patterns.

IOTester.java

import java.text.ParseException;
import java.text.SimpleDateFormat;
import java.util.Date;

pubpc class I18NTester {
   pubpc static void main(String[] args) throws ParseException {

      String pattern = "dd-MM-yy";
      SimpleDateFormat simpleDateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat(pattern);
      Date date = new Date();
      System.out.println(simpleDateFormat.format(date));

      pattern = "MM-dd-yyyy";
      simpleDateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat(pattern);
      System.out.println(simpleDateFormat.format(date));

      pattern = "yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss";
      simpleDateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat(pattern);
      System.out.println(simpleDateFormat.format(date));

      pattern = "EEEEE MMMMM yyyy HH:mm:ss.SSSZ";
      simpleDateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat(pattern);
      System.out.println(simpleDateFormat.format(date));
}
}

Output

It will print the following result.

29-11-17
11-29-2017
2017-11-29 18:47:42
