format a date in to the format october 13, 2014 11:13:00 am in ruby

You can format a date in Ruby using the strftime method with the appropriate format string. In this case, you can use the following format string:

main.rb
"%B %d, %Y %I:%M:%S %p"
24 chars
2 lines

Here's an example code snippet:

main.rb
date = Time.now
formatted_date = date.strftime("%B %d, %Y %I:%M:%S %p")

puts formatted_date
# Output: October 22, 2021 02:45:21 PM
132 chars
6 lines

In the code above, we first obtain the current date and time using Time.now. We then use the strftime method to format the date using the format string "%B %d, %Y %I:%M:%S %p", which corresponds to the format you specified. Finally, we print the formatted date to the console.
