C# script user input mask

Question

Hi all,

I have wrote a script to calculate the time difference between two times.
The user needs to give input for this.

Now to make it more easy I want to be able if the user enters 8 for example my script will convert this value to 8:00 (a time value).

Can someone assist me on this?
Another option is to add the ":" automatically as a mask.

Below you can find a snip of my code:

string Pattern = "H:mm";
Console.Write("Enter start time (H:mm): ");
DateTime StartTime = DateTime.ParseExact(Console.ReadLine(), Pattern, null);

The expected value now is something like: 8:00.
If the user needs to enter a lot of values it will be a plus to accept just "8".

Thanks in advance!

This may help you. I know how to find other programmers to solve problems. I design Visual Basic, C# and C++ Applications. I have already received all certificates from SoloLearn. So in my spare time I go through the courses again to learn things I have missed the first.
