The format() method of ChronoZonedDateTime interface in Java is used to format this date-time using the specified formatter passed as parameter.This date-time will be passed to the formatter to produce a string. Syntax:
default String format(DateTimeFormatter formatter)
Parameters: This method accepts a single parameter formatter which represents the formatter to use. This is a mandatory parameter and should not be NULL. Return value: This method returns a String represents the formatted date-time string. Exception: This method throws a DateTimeException if an error occurs during printing. Below programs illustrate the format() method: Program 1: Java
// Java program to demonstrate
// ChronoZonedDateTime.format() method

import java.time.*;
import java.time.chrono.*;
import java.time.format.*;

public class GFG {
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {

        // create ChronoZonedDateTime objects
        ChronoZonedDateTime zoneddatetime
            = ZonedDateTime.parse(
                "2018-12-06T19:21:12.123+05:30[Asia/Calcutta]");

        // create a formatter
        DateTimeFormatter formatter
            = DateTimeFormatter.ISO_TIME;

        // apply format()
        String value
            = zoneddatetime.format(formatter);

        // print result
        System.out.println("Result: " + value);
    }
}
Output:
Result: 19:21:12.123+05:30
Program 2: Java
// Java program to demonstrate
// ChronoZonedDateTime.format() method

import java.time.*;
import java.time.chrono.*;
import java.time.format.*;

public class GFG {
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {

        // create ChronoZonedDateTime objects
        ChronoZonedDateTime zoneddatetime
            = ZonedDateTime.parse(
                "2018-10-25T23:12:31.123+02:00[Europe/Paris]");

        // create a formatter
        DateTimeFormatter formatter
            = DateTimeFormatter.BASIC_ISO_DATE;

        // apply format()
        String value
            = zoneddatetime.format(formatter);

        // print result
        System.out.println("Result: " + value);
    }
}
Output:
Result: 20181025+0200
