Both "t" and "d" format specifiers are shorthand formats. They will output the correct format. DateTime dt = new DateTime(); Console.WriteLine("{0:t}", dt); Console.WriteLine("{0:d}", dt); Console.WriteLine("{0:mm/dd/yyy}", dt); Produces the following output: 12:00 AM 1/1/0001 00/01/001

FINAL ANSWER: {0:hh:mm:tt} {0:MM/dd/yyyy} {1:N2} Which does not rely upon your default culture.

Agreed ,except the first two are not provided options. I believe the question is probably missing some detail such as assume culture is en-us.

Jesus, was really confused of these all questions, but some of them are right and the results of tests are: // yyyy:MM:dd, hh:mm:ss DateTime date = new DateTime(2020, 02, 20, 18, 50, 40); double temp = 25; Console.WriteLine(string.Format("Temperature at {0:t} on {0:d}: {1:N2}", date, temp)); // Temperature at 18:50 on 20. 2. 2020: 25,00 - NOK Console.WriteLine(string.Format("Temperature at {0:hh:mm} on {0:MM/dd/yyyy}: {1:N2}", date, temp)); // Temperature at 06:50 on 02. 20. 2020: 25,00 - OK

I 've been really confused with this question and all those replies so I digged a bit and I found the same example on MS docs pages: string s = String.Format("It is now {0:d} at {0:t}", DateTime.Now); Console.WriteLine(s); // Output similar to: 'It is now 4/10/2015 at 10:04 AM' So correct answer is: {0:t} {0:d} {1:N2} This is the link: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.string.format?view=net-5.0#control-formatting

The only reason I would go with {0:MM/dd/yyyy} for the date is because the question shows the date with leading zeros. Personally I hate leading zeros but hey.

Oops but I guess since the answer doesn't have mm in caps then I would choose {0:d}

As some people have written, it depends on the culture. t and d is a shorthand that takes the current culture and uses that to determine what the output is. If you want to be sure to get the correct values, the answer is: {0:hh:mm:tt} on {0:MM/dd/yyyy} : {1:N2}.

Depends on CultureInfo: double temp = 123d; var now = DateTime.Now; Console.WriteLine("{0:t} {0:d} {1:N2}",now,temp); Console.WriteLine("{0:hh:mm tt} {0:MM/dd/yyyy} {1:N2}",now,temp);

{0:t} does not give time in AM/PM in my situation, it just gives a 24 hour clock from 00:00 to 23:59. I have to use {0:hh:mm tt} to get the time in AM/PM, and I have to set CurrentCulture to "us-US" or "en-UK". The last two answers {0:d} and {1:N2} are correct.

Exactly: Console.WriteLine(string.Format(CultureInfo.InvariantCulture, "{0:t} {0:d} {1:N2}", DateTime.Now, (double)25.699)); Console.WriteLine(string.Format(CultureInfo.CurrentCulture, "{0:t} {0:d} {1:N2}", DateTime.Now, (double)25.699)); Console.WriteLine(string.Format(CultureInfo.GetCultureInfo("en-us"), "{0:t} {0:d} {1:N2}", DateTime.Now, (double)25.699)); Console.WriteLine(string.Format(CultureInfo.GetCultureInfo("es-es"), "{0:t} {0:d} {1:N2}", DateTime.Now, (double)25.699)); OUTPUT 17:11 09/11/2020 25.70 17:11 11/09/2020 25.70 5:11 PM 9/11/2020 25.70 17:11 11/09/2020 25,70

I am curious as to why the first answer would be {0:t}? To me, {0:t} gives a 24 hour representation and {0:hh:mm} gives a 12 hour representation. The question asks for the time to be represented as AM/PM and gives 2PM as an example which is 12 hour. Next, the second part doesn't have a correct answer for me, but that may be to do with DateTime being set to UK standards; {0:d} gives day/month/year to display. Whereas {0:mm/dd/yyyy} gives MINUTES/day/year because of lowercase mm. This could be a typo and perhaps should say {0:MM/dd/yyyy}. So I believe that the full answer should be: - {0:hh:mm} - {0:MM/dd/yyyy} - {1:N2}

if you just run this in a console app: DateTime dt = DateTime.Now; Console.WriteLine("{0:t}", dt); Console.WriteLine("{0:d}", dt); Console.WriteLine("{0:mm/dd/yyyy}", dt); This is the output: 11:01 AM 3/17/2020 01/17/2020 (mm is for minutes not months)
