Generation

The 12-hour clock divides the day into two periods of 12 hours each (AM and PM), with hours numbered 1-12, while the 24-hour clock uses hours numbered 0-23 to represent the full day without AM/PM designations. To convert from 24-hour to 12-hour format: if the hour is 0, use 12 AM; if 1-12, use that number with AM; if 13-23, subtract 12 and use PM. The key formula for afternoon/evening times is: **12-hour time = 24-hour time - 12 (for hours 13-23)**. Conversely, to convert PM times to 24-hour format, add 12 to any hour except 12 PM.
