Military Time challenge

Question

How to do It better?
time=input().split()
f_time=time[0].split(":")
f_time.append(time[1])
#f_time=['HH','MM','mode']
hour=f_time[0]
minutes=f_time[1]
mode=f_time[2]
def pm():
global hour
pm_hour=int(hour)+12
hour=str(pm_hour)
return hour
if mode=="PM":
pm()
print("{}:{}".format(hour,minutes))

Answer 1

m = input()
s = m.strip().replace(" ", ":").split(":")
if s[2] == "PM":
if s[0]=="12":
print(f'12:{s[1]:0>2}')
else:
print(f'{int(s[0])+12}:{s[1]:0>2}')
else:
if s[0]=="12":
print(f'00:{s[1]:0>2}')
else:
print(f'{s[0]:0>2}:{s[1]:0>2}')

Keep learning & happy coding :D

Answer 2

m = input()
s = m.strip().replace(" ", ":").split(":")
This part is what I need, thanks!!!

Answer 3

david ortega the code fails if you enter any time in the 12 o'clock hour.
12:30 AM -> 12:30 (should be 00:30)
12:30 PM -> 24:30 (should be 12:30)
For reference, here is my 3-line solution.
#input format is hh:mm <A|P>M
#mm_M is both, minutes and Meridian
hr, mm_M = input().split(':', 1)
#12 AM is 00. For PM hours add 12.
hr = int(hr)%12 + 12*(mm_M[-2]=='P')
#{hr:02} #2-digit hour with filler 0
#mm_M[:2] #minutes without meridian
print(f"{hr:02}:{mm_M[:2]}")

Answer 4

Yeah, Sololearn's test cases were not written by an experienced tester.

Answer 6

Using ternary operator
time = input().replace(":"," ").split()
if time[2] =="AM":
mt = "00" if time[0] =="12" else time[0]
else:
mt = int(time[0])+12 if time[0] != "12 else "12"
print(f"{mt}:{time[1]}")

Answer 7

It's true! Military Time challenge's bug?

Answer 8

Upvote if you like my code :)

Answer 9

if mode=="PM" and int(hour)<12:
pm()
This solve the problem. I think 12:30 AM is not a valid entry, doesn't exist that hour.

Answer 10

12:30 AM is a valid time in the US. Is it not in Europe?

Answer 11

As I understand 12:30 is always post meridian, also 12:30 AM must be 00:30

Answer 12

This cultural difference is new to me. Just mentioning 12:30 here leaves it open to interpretation whether it means AM or PM, but rarely does anyone use 00:30 here, which would solve the issue!
