Program/Source Code:

The source code to format the current time using SimpleDateFormat class is given below. The given program is compiled and executed on the ubuntu 18.04 operating system successfully.

// Scala program to format the
// current time using SimpleDateFormat() class

import java.util.Calendar;
import java.text.SimpleDateFormat;

object Sample {
  def main(args: Array[String]) {
    val now = Calendar.getInstance().getTime()

    //create format for date/time.
    val formatHour = new SimpleDateFormat("hh")
    val formatMinute = new SimpleDateFormat("mm")
    val formatAmPm = new SimpleDateFormat("a")

    val currHour = formatHour.format(now);
    val currMinute = formatMinute.format(now);
    val amOrPm = formatAmPm.format(now);

    println(currHour);
    println(currMinute);
    println(amOrPm);
  }
}

Output:

09
22
PM

Explanation:

In the above program, we used an object-oriented approach to create the program. And, we imported Calendar and SimpleDateFormat classes using the below statement,

import java.util.Calendar;
import java.text.SimpleDateFormat;

Then we created a singleton object Sample and defined the main() function. The main() function is the entry point for the program.

In the main() function, we set the format of time using SimpleDateFormat class and printed the result on the console screen.
