Code Coach Military Time

Question

Ques:Change the 12 hour clock to 24 hour clock system

Input:
6:32 PM

Output:
18:32

n=input().split()
x=n[0].index(':')
if(n[1]=='PM'):
n[0]=str(int(n[0][:x])+12)+n[0][x:x+3]
print(n[0])

I have tested this code with various of inputs and all of them came out correct but in the code coach it fails 2 hidden tests idk what the problem is

Answer 1

I quickly tested your code and found 2 things you may wish to address.

12:30 AM should return 00:30
1:30 AM should return 01:30

This challenge highlights the need to fully understand a concept before being able to code the requirements.

You might want to research a bit about military time, so you can catch all the variances.

Hope this helps

Answer 2

Thanks i didnt think about that

Answer 3

you are using python so ‘datetime,
& strptime’ will be the best for this Code Coach

Answer 4

Here is c# code to answer this question first you need know its am or pm if its am you need just hour:minute without modify but if its pm add 12 to hour and you must know that you need to show hour and minute in two digit like 2:3 pm 》 14:03
string clock=Console.ReadLine();
char[] partSign={':',' '};
var sep=clock.Split(partSign);
int hour=Convert.ToInt32(sep[0]);
int minute=Convert.ToInt32(sep[1]);
string am_pm =sep[2];
if(am_pm =="PM")
{
hour+=12;
}
Console.Write(hour.ToString("00")+":"+minute.ToString("00"));
