In this program, we will print today's date and current time using Utc::now().date() and Utc::now().time() functions.
Add Chrono date-time external library to your project
- Create your project using the below command.
 $cargo new datetime -bin 
- Goto the project folder cd datetime and edit Cargo.toml file.
 $datetime>nano Cargo.toml 
- Then add dependency in Cargo.toml file
 [dependencies]
chrono = "0.4" 
- After that, build your project using the below command
 $datetime>cargo build 
- Then execute your project after modification in src/main.rs source file.
 $datetime>cargo run 
 
                            
Program/Source Code:
The source code to demonstrate the Utc::now().date() and Utc::now().time() functions is given below. The given program is compiled and executed on UBUNTU 18.04 successfully.
Output:
$datetime> cargo run Compiling datetime v0.1.0 (/home/arvind/Desktop/rust/datetime) Finished dev [unoptimized + debuginfo] target(s) in 0.29s Running `target/debug/datetime` Today's date: 2021-10-23UTC Current time: 09:18:34.435791603Explanation:
In the above program, we imported the "Chrono" library to our project for performing date and time operations. We imported the Chrono library using the below line:
In the main() function, we printed the today's date and current time using Utc::Now.date() and Utc::Now.time() functions.
