What's wrong in this code?

I tried solving military time code coach challenge! 3 of the 5 test were successful. 2 hidden tests were unsuccessful. This is the code: x = input() var = x.split(" ") var2 = var[0].split(":") if var[1].upper() == "PM": if var2[0] == "12": print ("12" + ":" + var2[1]) else: var3 = str(int(var2[0]) + 12 ) print (var3 + ":" + var2[1]) else : if var2[0] == "12": print ("00" + ":" + var2[1]) else: print (var[0]) What is the mistake? https://code.sololearn.com/cZv4mYo301nJ/?ref=app

You just have to make it print ("0" + ":" + var2[1]) one zero instead of two and it will pass the cases

Hind Biswas Or you can simply do: if var[0].index(":") == 1: print("0" + var[0]) else: print(var[0]) But doing this would be inefficient! Here zfill would be more efficient! Zfill does the same task! It checks that if the length of var[0] is less than 5 then it will add "0"s before it until it's length becomes 5 Like: a = "123" print(a.zfill(5)) Output: 00123

Your correction is good. From other discussion questions I find that Code Coach needs a leading zero on the output of single-digit hours.
