example, is always day 365, whether it is a leap year or not. To follow this system,

A full list of the available formatting letters is given below.
For example:
In this example, the brackets frame the letters AB and CD separated by a colon.
This code prints the current time in hours and minutes, using the colon to separate
the two numbers - 12:15, for example. AB represents hours (in the twenty-four
hour clock 00 to 23) and CD represents minutes (00 to 59).
Here the punctuation mark / has been used to separate the three sets of code
letters EF, GH and IJ. It prints the current date in day, month and year order - 25/
01/01, for example.
When printed, day of the year (either code) always pads out values under 100 with
zeros - for instance 001 or 023. Numerical day of week (P) can have the value 1 to
7, and alphabetical day of week (X) the corresponding letter A to G.
