Exam Certified Platform Developer II topic 1 question 49 discussion

Answer should be A.

A is the correct and please refer the bellow discussion https://salesforce.stackexchange.com/questions/154024/display-string-datetime-in-current-user-locale

A considers user locale. I see some C answers here but it's not correct. String.valueOf(Date) converts a Date to a String, but without considering the user's locale; it is a fixed format.

the correct answer is A. A and C are very close but differ in the following way. A is the date format method- it returns the date as string using the user locale. C is a string method- it returns a string of the date specified in the standard format of YYYY-MM-DD. my locale is english(canada) the format is YYYY-MM-DD so seems that C is correct ans. But here is the catch. when I change my local to French(France) the date format of my local becomes DD/MM/YYYY. In this case String method will not work. Thus A is the ans.

Correct answer is A. https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.apexref.meta/apexref/apex_methods_system_date.htm#apex_System_Date_format

valueOf(datetimeToConvert) Returns a String that represents the specified Datetime in the standard “yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss” format for the local time zone.

the correct answer is A. A and C are very close but differ in the following way. A is the date format method- it returns the date as string using the user locale. C is a string method- it returns a string of the date specified in the standard format of YYYY-MM-DD. my locale is english(canada) the format is YYYY-MM-DD so seems that C is correct ans.

date.format() return local locale (set in your device like computer, phone) String.ValueOf return user locale (set in SF)

A is correct.

Anwser is A since it is in local time

Ans is A format() - Returns the Date as a string using the locale of the context user // In American-English locale date myDate = date.newInstance(2001, 3, 21); String dayString = myDate.format(); system.assertEquals('3/21/2001', dayString); https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.apexref.meta/apexref/apex_methods_system_date.htm#apex_System_Date_format

I had try A and C, both work. What the hell?
