Trying to solve noon or midnight in JavaScript

Question

how do i make my code output am and pm
Time flies when you’re having fun.
Given a clock that measures 24 hours in a day, write a program that takes the hour as input. If the hour is in the range of 0 to 12, output am to the console, and output pm if it's not.

Sample Input
13

Sample Output
pm

my attempt
function main() {
var hour = parseInt(readLine(), 10);
// Your code goes here

console.log(hour<=24);
}

Answer 1

Can someone explain to me why we get these practices with if, else statements when we haven't even learned these concepts yet? I'm happy to practice the things I've learned but how are we supposed to practice concepts that haven't been taught to us yet? Is the idea that we research this online and formulate an answer or.... I don't know. I'm new to Sololearn so maybe I'm missing something.

Answer 2

If (hour >= 0 && hour <= 12) {
console.log('am');
} else {
console.log('pm');

Answer 3

Like this
Makar Mikhalchenko
function main() {
var hour = parseInt(readLine(), 10);
// Your code goes here

If (hour >= 0 && hour <= 12) {
console.log('am');
} else {
console.log('pm');
}

this did not work

Answer 4

Simisola Osinowo maybe 12 denoted pm?

Answer 5

Simisola Osinowo

Do this

function main() {
var hour = parseInt(readLine(), 10);

if (hour >= 0 && hour < 12) {
console.log('am');
} else {
console.log('pm');
}
}
main()

NOTE: PM starts by exactly 12, so the last hour of AM is 11

Answer 7

Simisola Osinowo
You should replace "readLine()" on line 2 with "prompt()".

Your code will look like this:
function main() {
var hour = parseInt(prompt(), 10);

if (hour >= 0 && hour < 12) {
console.log('am');
} else {
console.log('pm');
}
}
main()

Answer 8

Answer 9

You can just go directly with

function main() {
var hour = parseInt(readLine(), 10);

if (hour<=12) {
console.log("am");
} else
console.log("pm");
}

Answer 13

this work perfectly

let hour = parseInt(readLine(), 10);
