J.S - Can we use switch on hours. I know we can on days. But how do u do it on hours?

Question

Can we say something like if hour is 1:00 pm say "hi"? Using switch statement

Can we use the switch statement to say something in each hour?

If yes:
Please show me how, with a code or on here.

Answer 1

Of course. You want to catch all times within that hour, right?

function getHour() {
return new Date().getHours(); // a value from 0 to 23
}

switch (getHour()) {
case 13: // corresponds with anywhere between 1pm and 1:59pm.
// If you want 1am to 1:59am, use 1.
alert("hi");
break;
default:
alert("Be patient. The hour will come eventually.");
}

If you want it to hit the hour case only when it is 1:00 to 1:01, you would just have to tweak things a bit.
