Answer 2

Robert Haugland ,

it would be great if you could share your code with us. just showing the samples may mislead us to a wrong or not suitable answer.

thanks and happy coding!

Answer 3

Well you need to make it count haw many characters are in the string ...
So ✨:
📌If the length is 8 :
The string do not require to convert it
📌If the length is 7 :
You need to add "0" at the beginning

If there's anything else tell me ...because i didn't understand exactly what you want ☄️

Answer 4

Robert Haugland
There are a couple of ways.
One way is as follows

If you turn the integer into a string, you could ascertain the length of the string.

If len(string) == 1
put '0' in front of your num using concatenation

Answer 5

San,
I used the code you gave and tweeked oh so slightly to fit my situation and it worked:
def Format(tm):
time=tm[:-2].split(":")
min=int(time[0])
sec=int(time[1])
if min<10: min='0'+str(min)
else: min=str(min)
if sec<10: sec='0'+str(sec)
else: sec=str(sec)
return min+':'+sec+' '+tm[-2:]
I added + " " + in the return format to add the space between the mintures and "PM". Thanks. I iunderstand the code but I was just looking for a formatting short cut in one of the datetime or time import.modyles that utilizes the format code "%I:%M %p".

Answer 6

Okat, I am wanting to solve the Military time problem in the Coach Code Challenge. I pretty much have ut figured out how to actually convert the 12 hour clock to the 24 by the use of list slicing. I know that through the use of one of the time module imports that you can configure the format to what is needed. I recall doing this with a date format in one of the modules where I needed to add a "0" to the month or the date where the input did not have the padded "0". I have imported datetime, from datetime import datetime, and time. All of the references I have looked up on the internet show how to do this, but it also includes a date, which I do not need. So, my question is, is there a datetime or time import module that uses the format code "%I:%M %p" (HH:MM PM, according to the code key I found) to convert a string time input in the format of "1:15 PM" to that specified format? If so, what is the import module and what is the coding verbiage needed to get this done? If not, I will figure out it another way.
