Code coach failed 2/5 test cases but works on interpreter?

Question

The code coach problem:
Convert 12 hour time to 24 hour time. Assume input is a string formatted `XX:XX (AM or PM)’
Example input
1:34 PM
Example output
13:34
My code is as follows:

def clock(n):
time = n.split(':')
hours = time[0]
minutes = time[1].split()
ampm = minutes[1]
minutes = minutes[0]
if ampm == 'AM':
if hours == '12':
hours = '00'
elif ampm == 'PM':
if hours == '12':
hours = '12'
else:
hours = str(int(hours) + 12)
time = hours + ':' + minutes
return time
print(clock(input()))

I’ve run it on every possible combination I can on Interpreter with no issues. I’m a beginner but I can’t for the life of me figure out why? Version difference? Missed parameter? Can anyone help?

Answer 1

Your problem is the output format: XX:XX

For example:
03:12 instead of 3:12

Answer 2

I think, It missing 1 to 11 AM, and should be same as it is like 1:00 AM is 01:00, and 11:00 AM as 11:00

Answer 3

I didnt consider that the input would follow that format. I assumed 1:30 as input not 01:30. Makes perfect sense thank you!

Answer 4

Denise Roßberg I added this, but still failed the same two tests

if hours[0] == 0 and hours[1] != 0:
hours = hours[1]

Answer 5

oops forgot Denise Roßberg
