• Dates and Times are managed in Go with the Time Package. ``` package main

import ( “fmt” )

func main() {

	 n := time.Now()
	 fmt.Println("I recorded this video at ", n)
	
fmt.Println("Dates and times")

}

* A variable declared with the `time` type, encapsulates maths operations, timezone management and more.
* When we run the above code, we receive the following:

:!’go’ ‘run’ ‘/home/howard/learning-go-2875237/go_learning/work_with_dates_and_times/main.go’ 2>&1| tee /tmp/nvim.howard/OA5SJz/1
I recorded this video at 2024-04-17 14:29:24.296399799 +0900 JST m=+0.000008168 Dates and times

* We can also create more explicit time values:

package main

import ( “fmt” “time” )

func main() {

n := time.Now()
fmt.Println("I recorded this video at ", n)

fmt.Println("Dates and times")
// The day is "10", the hour value is "23". Zeroes are used for the minutes, seconds and milliseconds. For the location, constant of time.UTC
t := time.Date(2009, time.November, 10, 23, 0, 0, 0, time.UTC)
// We then output the above with
fmt.Println("Go launched at ", t)
// For a formatted version of the date/time value.
// t.Format is available via the time object itself. We need a layout string, which is a representation of the formatted time value
fmt.Println(t.Format(time.ANSIC)) } ``` * There are other standard formats included in the documentation. * Another configuration method is with: ``` package main

import ( “fmt” “time” )

func main() {

n := time.Now()
fmt.Println("I recorded this video at ", n)

fmt.Println("Dates and times")
// The day is "10", the hour value is "23". Zeroes are used for the minutes, seconds and milliseconds. For the location, constant of time.UTC
t := time.Date(2009, time.November, 10, 23, 0, 0, 0, time.UTC)
// We then output the above with
fmt.Println("Go launched at ", t)
// For a formatted version of the date/time value.
// t.Format is available via the time object itself. We need a layout string, which is a representation of the formatted time value
fmt.Println(t.Format(time.ANSIC)) } ```
