Python: Get the current time
4. Current Time Fetcher
Write a Python program to get the current time.
Sample Solution:
Python Code:
# Import the datetime module
import datetime
# Get the current date and time using datetime.now() and then retrieve the time component using time()
# Print the current time
print(datetime.datetime.now().time())
Output:
18:08:21.552122
Explanation:
In the exercise above,
- The code imports the "datetime" module, which provides functionalities to work with dates and times.
- Printing Current Time:
- It utilizes the "datetime.datetime.now()" function to get the current date and time.
- Then, it retrieves only the time component of the current date and time using the "time()" method.
- Finally, it prints the current time using the "print()" function.
