Changing the 1-24 hour to 1-12 hour for the “getHours()” Method

Question

When I use the \"getHour()\" method in javascript, it displays the military time format. I need it to display the hour in numbers between 1-12 instead. Can anybody tell me

Answer 1

Why not do it the brief way? Math, people! :)

// returns the hours number for a date, between 1 and 12
function hours12(date) { return (date.getHours() + 24) % 12 || 12; }
