[Solved] Code Coach - Military Time

Question

Hello everyone!
I tried the challenge “Military Time” many times but there was always two hidden test cases that were wrong... Could please someone propose some python code that would work?

Answer 1

To solve all the tests, these codes are enough, given that the input is always of the same form:

a, b = input().split(":")
if b[-2] == 'P': a = str((int(a)+12)%24)
print(f"{a.zfill(2)}:{b[:2]}")

# Python Version (not very pythonic)

#include <stdio.h>

int main() {
int a;
char b[3], c;
scanf("%d:%s %c", &a, b, &c);
if (c == 80) a = (a + 12) % 24;
if (a < 10) putchar(48);
printf("%d:%s", a, b);
return 0;
}

// C version

Hope this helps.

P.S. The problem your code had was that it didn't put a leading zero for an hour-length of 1.

Answer 2

Here one of my trials for “No Numerals”:

phrase = input().split()
output = ""

for i in phrase:
if i == "0":
i = "zero"
if i == "1":
i = "one"
if i == "2":
i = "two"
if i == "3":
i = "three"
if i == "4":
i = "four"
if i == "5":
i = "five"
if i == "6":
i = "six"
if i == "7":
i = "seven"
if i == "8":
i = "eight"
if i == "9":
i = "nine"
if i == "10":
i = "zero"
output += i + " "

print(output)

I am still learning and I know my code is really bad but please help me to improve myself.

phrase = input().split()
output = ""

for i in phrase:
if i == "0":
i = "zero"
if i == "1":
i = "one"
if i == "2":
i = "two"
if i == "3":
i = "three"
if i == "4":
i = "four"
if i == "5":
i = "five"
if i == "6":
i = "six"
if i == "7":
i = "seven"
if i == "8":
i = "eight"
if i == "9":
i = "nine"
if i == "10":
i = "ten"
output += i + " "

print(output)

Answer 4

Here is on of my trials for “Military Time”:

input = input().split()
time = input[0]
post = input[1]

if post == "AM":
print(time)
else:
splited = time.split(":")
hours = int(splited[0])
minutes = splited[1]
hours += 12
print(f"{hours}:{minutes}")

Answer 5

Make ten instead of 0

Answer 6

Oh...
thank you!
It worked, I am so stupid...

Regarding your request for a pythonic approach to Military Time.

Please consider the use of %12 to ascertain the hours depending on AM or PM.

Also, many people struggle with 12:01 AM, which requires 00:01 as the output.

So you will need to be able to identify if your output has 1 or 2 digits in the hour section.

If your result is 0:01 for 12:01 AM, then you will need to adjust for that.

A few thoughts for you that may help
