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

function getClockTime(){
   var now    = new Date();
   var hour   = now.getHours();
   var minute = now.getMinutes();
   var second = now.getSeconds();
   var ap = "AM";
   if (hour   > 11) { ap = "PM";             }
   if (hour   > 12) { hour = hour - 12;      }
   if (hour   == 0) { hour = 12;             }
   if (hour   < 10) { hour   = "0" + hour;   }
   if (minute < 10) { minute = "0" + minute; }
   if (second < 10) { second = "0" + second; }
   var timeString = hour + ':' + minute + ':' + second + " " + ap;
   return timeString;
}

This Function will give the perfect time format in 1-12 hours

Answer 2

the easy way to use this.

setInterval(function() {

var d = new Date();

document.getElementById("demo").innerHTML = 
d.getHours() % 12+" : "+d.getMinutes()+" : "+d.getSeconds();

}, 1000);

<p id="demo" ></p>
