C++ Question => Converting Military Time to Regular Time?

[CoBRaXT]

A user inputs military time (eg 2305) and the program has to convert it to 11:05 P.M.
I know it has to do with modulus division but I'm not quite sure how to set it up.

Thanks

hour %= 12;

although that would display 0 for 12xx

so just use an if statement

I would be lame, if statement to get am or pm, and do 2300-1200 to get normal time, and a if statment to handle 0 hours.

I don't know how you do this in C, but just say if the number is greater than 12 subtract 12.

I wouldn't use modulus division.

I'd compare it to 1259 and if greater, subtract 1200.

Assuming the input is entered as 2305, not 23:05, that is the best method.

Well sure, but would you rather make fun of him for this small thing now, or make fun of him when he posts that he's failed his class later?

This is not an either/or scenario.

And to you all I present the following question:

WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH MILITARY TIME?

I have everything around me set to 24HR time rather than that lame ass 12HR stuff. Military time owns you.

 

[Mday]

assuming you read the 2305 as a string... convert it into a number. then if that number is greater than 1200, subtract 1200, and have a boolean value for AM or PM. mod by 100 to get the first 2 digits, div by 100 to get 2nd two digits, and then print them out.

or you can use strings to store that then output the string.

You're making the incorrect assumption that everyone here has a problem with military time. Jeez, lighten up.
