How can you format a date? - Cracking the Java Coding Interview #javalanguage #javacoding #javatips

Covers two approaches to date formatting in Java: the legacy SimpleDateFormat class (which has mutable state and causes race conditions if shared between threads) and the modern DateTimeFormatter introduced in Java 8 (which is immutable and thread-safe). Also highlights the pattern-based syntax using letters like Y, M, D, and notes that DateTimeFormatter additionally supports standard ISO formats.
