Question

What i am trying to do::

• Good evening

Answer 1

A cleaner method for detecting date would be.

//the time cannot go below zero, so if this case is true, it must be between 0 and 12
   if(time <= 12)
   {
       return "Good Morning";
       //it will only fall into this case if the time is greater than 12.
   }else if(time < 16)
   {
       return "Good Afternoon";
   }else if(time < 21)
   {
       return "Good Evening";
   }else //it is guaranteed that the time will not exceed 24
       //, and if the previous case are all false, it must be within 21 and 24
   {
       return "Good Night";
   }
