Program 1:

// Java program to demonstrate
// LocalTime.now(Clock clock) method
  
import java.time.*;
import java.time.temporal.*;
  
public class GFG {
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
  
        // apply now(Clock clock) method
        // of LocalTime class
        LocalTime time = LocalTime.now(
            Clock.systemUTC());
  
        // print time
        System.out.println("Time: "
                           + time);
    }
}

Output:

Time: 21:04:28.811

Program 2:

// Java program to demonstrate
// LocalTime.now(Clock clock) method
  
import java.time.*;
import java.time.temporal.*;
  
public class GFG {
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
  
        // apply now(Clock clock) method
        // of LocalTime class
        LocalTime time = LocalTime.now(
            Clock.systemUTC());
  
        // print time
        System.out.println("Time: "
                           + time);
    }
