Current date as character vector
c = date returns the current date as a character vector in the
format dd-MMM-yyyy.
This format represents the day of the month (dd) as a number, the
month name (MMM) as its three-letter abbreviation, and the year
(yyyy) as a number.
date always returns the English abbreviation for the month name.
The function does not take your system locale into account when determining the month
name.
MATLAB Online determines the current date from Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) rather than from local time.
As an alternative, use the datetime function to represent the
current
date.
d = datetime('today')The datetime function takes your locale into account. Also, you
can specify the format that a datetime array uses to represent its
values.
