Explanation:

In the above program, we declare the package main. The main package is used to tell the Go language compiler that the package must be compiled and produced the executable file. Here, we imported the fmt package that includes the files of package fmt then we can use a function related to the fmt package.

In the main() function, we created a string currentDateTime. Then we called the time.Now() function to get the current date and time. The time.Now() function return the object of the time type, here we used String() function to convert the time into the string. After that, we printed the result on the console screen.
