Date & time Conversion PST Pacific Standard Time to GMT

[Austinage]

Hello friends,

What is the best way to work with time zones? Is there any way to convert PST Pacific Standard Time (DateTime) to GMT?
If someone could help me? Can anyone show me the logic or a code snippet?

Thanks in advance.

There is difference of 8 hrs between both of them.
Pacific Standard Time (PST) is 8hrs behind Greenwich Mean Time (GMT)

Convert GMT to PST

This example helps you in converting a GMT time to PST time on the console. The SimpleDateFormat() constructor uses the given pattern and date format symbols. Here we use the date format as gmtFormat which gets converted to pstFormat. Then we have used getTimeZone() method to get the time of both the zones to be converted.

Pacific Standard Time (PST) = GMT-8

Pacific Daylight Time (PDT) = GMT-7

code

import java.util.*;
import java.text.*;
import java.io.*;

public class GMTtoPST{
  public static void main(String args[]){
    Date date = new Date();
      DateFormat pstFormat = new SimpleDateFormat();
      DateFormat gmtFormat = new SimpleDateFormat();
      TimeZone gmtTime = TimeZone.getTimeZone("GMT");
      TimeZone pstTime = TimeZone.getTimeZone("PST");
      
    pstFormat.setTimeZone(gmtTime);
      gmtFormat.setTimeZone(pstTime);
      System.out.println("GMT Time: " + pstFormat.format(date));
      System.out.println("PST Time: " + gmtFormat.format(date));
  }
}

Output
