Military time code coach challenge

I have finally solved this challenge and it took me an hour. https://www.sololearn.com/coach/70?ref=app And I have finally come up with this code that successfully convert time in 12 hour format with AM and PM to 24 hour format. #"time12" is input value in 12h format like this 11:00 AM time12 = input().split() #After splitting AM/PM, now splitting 11:00 as 11 and 00 and new list is named "time" time = time12[0].split(":") if time12[1] == "AM" and int(time[0])>=10: print (time12[0]) elif time12[1] == "AM" and int(time[0])>=1: print (f"0{time12[0]}") elif time12[1] == "AM" and int(time[0])==0: print (f"00{time12[0]}") else: t = int(time[0])+12 print(f"{t}:{time[1]}") I spent a lot of time trying to solve this medium level challenge. That has created self-doubt in my mind. Is it okay to take so longer to write such small piece of code or I am slower for beginners?? Also if you could suggest something that could help me improve my skill and pace.. I express my gratitude in advance.

CHANDAN ROY Here you have already solved the code coach... And asking for "suggestions" which declares the QUESTION open-ended. .. I believe you should reframe your question... If it's open-ended then better to use feed for that ! Otherwise I can have one guess that you are saying that "how to make the code short"?

CHANDAN ROY Feed is to be called "activity feed" When you will click on the middle tab and gonna scroll.. all the posts which will be appearing are done through " activity feed" q/a is sensitive somehow... All kinds of suggestions you can post on "activity feed"( I think am cleared with the explaination of activity feed :) ) Have a look here too - https://www.sololearn.com/Discuss/1316935/?ref=app

Piyush I have edited this post describing the purpose of it. Sorry for asking such silly questions but what is "feed" and "open-ended"
