Noon or Midnight

Question

I’m lost once again, below is the question and the given code to start with. Any help?

I tried to make Variables for Am and Pm separately but it did not work.

Var Am <=11
Var Pm >= 12
But I don’t think I’m on the write path.

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.

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

}

Answer 1

//not sure but this maybe work,... Based on your code
function main(){
var hour = parseInt(readLine(), 10);
// Your code here
if(hour <= 12){
console.log("am");
}
else{
console.log("pm");
}
}

Answer 2

Hi! I hope I'm not late at all, but I think you are talking about the practice of Lesson 10.1 Part 1, I had trouble solving it, but after looking further on the Lesson I have figured out it is possible to do with "Conditional (Ternary) Operator"
This is what the syntax would look like:

variable = (condition) ? value1: value2

And applied on the problem, it would look like this:

var NoonOrMidnight = (hour <= 12) ? "am" : "pm";
console.log(NoonOrMidgnight)

With the full code provided by the site:

function main() {
var hour = parseInt(readLine(), 10);
// Your code goes here
var NoonOrMidgnight = (hour <= 12) ? "am" : "pm";
console.log(NoonOrMidnight)
}

Hope this helps someone!

Answer 3

var hours = prompt("Please add the time");

// This is if you use Logical Operators
(hours <= 12 ) && console.log("AM");
(hours > 12 ) && console.log("PM");

(hours <= 12) ? console.log("AM") : console.log("PM");

// This is if you use conditional
if (hours <= 12 ){
console.log("AM")
} else {
console.log("PM")
}

Your variable declaration is wrong there..
In shloud be var am=11, pm=12; (example)
And missed your message that am not activated my account so I can't reply via msg.. Not seen also..
Is it about this question..? After reading this, I understood that this question asked before if-else lesson.. But there they will specify what concept question about..
But if your sure about this is not in a proper structure, you can mailto : [e-mail] saying it as a suggestion or complaint.. That helps others..

// Your code here

Answer 10

(hour <= 12) && console.log("am");
(hour > 12) && console.log("pm");

If you use the && operator all operands have to be true. If (hour <= 12) is true then console.log("am"); will run, If (hour <= 12) is false then console.log("am"); wont run.
