find the current date and time in rust

To find the current date and time in Rust, we can use the chrono crate. Here is an example code snippet:

main.rs
extern crate chrono;

use chrono::{DateTime, Utc};

fn main() {
    let now: DateTime<Utc> = Utc::now();
    println!("Current date and time is: {}", now);
}
158 chars
9 lines

In this code, we first import the DateTime and Utc structs from chrono. We then use the now() function of Utc to get the current date and time in the UTC timezone. Finally, we print the current date and time using the println!() macro.

This will output something like:

main.rs
Current date and time is: 2021-10-05 07:33:20.315481 UTC
57 chars
2 lines

Note that the date and time will be in UTC timezone. If you need to convert it to a different timezone, you can use the with_timezone() method of the DateTime struct.
