This C# program demonstrates how print dates and times via formatting in the console window.

Program.cs

using System;

        static void Main(string[] args) {
            // An example date and time
            int iYear = 1571;

            int iMinute = 3;
            int iSecond = 8;
            int iMillisecond = 43;
            DateTime qBattleofLepanto = new DateTime(
                iYear, iMonth, iDay,
                iHour, iMinute, iSecond, iMillisecond);
