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 to use the Println() function and we also imported the "log" package to use the log.Printf() function.

In the main() function, we used log.Printf() function to print formatted messages with timestamp on the console screen.
