Mixing
converting between 12 hour time format to military time
0
I am currently trying to write a method that takes a string like "1pm" and converts it to military time --> 13
Right now I have the following and it is not working correctly. Any tips would be greatly appreciated.
/**
* Set the hour of this appointment, using a more human-friendly
* string.
* @param newHour The new hour for this appointment, using an
* am/pm designation such as "9am" or "5pm".
*/
public void setTime(String newHour)
{
String day = newHour.substring(newHour.length() - 2);
String dig = newHour.substring(2, newHour.length() - 2);
if (dig.equals("12"))
{
dig = "0";
}
if (day.equals("am"))
{
hour = Integer.parseInt(dig);
}
else
{
hour = Integer.parseInt(dig) + 12;
}
}

Your "dig" string is wrong. Its startindex should be 0.
String dig = newHour.substring(0, newHour.length() - 2);

how would this account for "12am" or midnight? I think i am missing that condition and I am not exactly sure how to write for it. Thanks so much

That already seems to be handled in your code. For "12am" the dig variable would be set to "0", and since it is am you would get 0. "12pm" would return "12".
