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.
