golang date month number

To obtain the current date in the month number format using the Go programming language, you can follow these steps:

1. Import the necessary packages:

2. Import the "time" package to work with dates and times.

3. Get the current date:

4. Use the "Now()" function from the "time" package to get the current date and time.

5. Assign the result to a variable, let's say "currentDate".

6. Extract the month number:

7. Use the "Month()" function on the "currentDate" variable to extract the month component as a value of type "time.Month".

8. Assign the result to a variable, let's say "monthNumber".

9. Format the month number:

10. Use the "int()" function to convert the "monthNumber" variable to an integer.
11. Assign the result to a variable, let's say "formattedMonthNumber".

Here is the code snippet that demonstrates the above steps:

package main

import (
    "fmt"
    "time"
)

func main() {
    currentDate := time.Now()
    monthNumber := currentDate.Month()
    formattedMonthNumber := int(monthNumber)

    fmt.Println(formattedMonthNumber)
}

Note: The code above will print the month number to the console. If you want to store it in a variable or use it for further calculations, you can modify the code accordingly.
