This Java code snippet demonstrates how to use the Calendar class and formatted output with System.out.printf. Here's what it does:

1. Create an Instance of Calendar:
   Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();
   This creates an instance of the Calendar class initialized with the current date and time of the system.

2. Print the Current Date and Time:
   System.out.printf("The current date and time is: %tc\n\n", cal);
   This uses the format specifier %tc to print the current date and time in a default locale-specific format.

3. Set a Custom Date and Time:
   cal.set(1956,9,8,5,30,12);
   This sets the calendar object cal to a specific date and time: October 8, 1956, at 5:30:12 AM.
   (Note: The months in the Calendar class are zero-based, so 9 represents October, not September.)

4. Declare a String Variable:
   String name = "Hitesh R. Pulimi";
   This creates a string variable name with the value "Hitesh R. Pulimi".

5. Print a Formatted String with Details:

   System.out.printf(
       "My name is %s.\nI was born at %Tr on a %tA,\nthe %te day of May in the year %tY", name, cal, cal, cal, cal
   );
   

   This prints a string using various format specifiers to include the name, the time, the day, and other details about the date using the calendar:

   • %s - Inserts the name string (prints "Hitesh R. Pulimi").
   • %Tr - Formats the time to show "HH:MM:SS" in 24-hour clock format (uses the time set earlier: 5:30:12).
   • %tA - Prints the full name of the day (e.g., "Monday").
   • %te - Prints the day of the month as a number (e.g., "8" for October 8).
   • %tY - Prints the year in four digits ("1956").

   NOTE: There appears to be an inconsistency in your code. The comment refers to "May," but the date set earlier is in October (month=9). This is likely an error in either the code or its commentary.

Example Output (assuming October 8, 1956):

The current date and time is: [Current system date, time]
My name is Hitesh R. Pulimi.  
I was born at 05:30:12 on a Monday,  
the 8th day of October in the year 1956

Key Notes:

• The Calendar class is part of the java.util package and is widely used for manipulating dates and times.
• System.out.printf is a formatted print function similar to printf in C/C++.
• The %t family of format specifiers is used for formatting date and time in Java.
