format a date in to the format month day, year hour:minute:second am/pm in rust

You can format a date into the desired format using the Chrono crate in Rust. Here is an example code snippet:

main.rs
use chrono::{DateTime, Local, NaiveDateTime, Timelike};

fn format_date(dt: DateTime<Local>) -> String {
    let naive = dt.naive_local();
    let formatted = naive.format("%B %e, %Y %I:%M:%S %p").to_string();
    formatted
}

fn main() {
    let dt = Local::now();
    let formatted = format_date(dt);
    println!("Formatted date: {}", formatted);
}

In the above code, the format_date function takes a DateTime<Local> object as input and returns a string formatted using the strftime format string "%B %e, %Y %I:%M:%S %p". This format string will give you a formatted string in the format "Month Day, Year Hour:Minute:Second AM/PM".

The main function creates a Local::now() object, which contains the current date and time in the local time zone. It then calls the format_date function to format the date, and prints the resulting string to the console.

This code will output something like:

main.rs
Formatted date: March 1, 2022 11:32:50 AM
