Explore other format specifiers for date command.

Awesome! You're diving deeper into the date command, which is great. There are indeed many other useful format specifiers.

Here are a few more to help you customize the output even further:

%a: Abbreviated weekday name (e.g., Tue)
%b: Abbreviated month name (e.g., Dec)
%k: Hour (0-23)
%l: Hour (1-12)
%p: AM or PM
%m: Month as a decimal number (01-12)
%y: Year as a two-digit number (e.g., 25)
%j: Day of year (001-366)
%w: Day of week (0-6, 0=Sunday)

Let's try some examples:

Short day and month, full year, and 12-hour time with AM/PM:
```
date +"%a, %b %d, %Y %I:%M %p"
```
- %I: Hour (01-12)
- %M: Minute (00-59)
- %p: AM or PM designation
You might see something like: Tue, Dec 16, 2025 06:30 PM
Using date to report the nth day of the year:
```
date +"Today is the %j'th day of %Y"
```
This would output something like: Today is the 350'th day of 2025 (if it's Dec 16th).
To get the current week number:
```
date +"Week number: %V"
```
(%V gives the ISO week number, where weeks begin on Monday.)
