getMinutes() > 9 problem

#1

My weather app was displaying the time correctly only when getMinutes() was greater than 10, but if the clock displayed 1:02 pm my weather app would display 1:2 so, I fixed that issue with the code below.

$.getJSON(url, function(data) {
$("#location").html("Location: " + data.name + ", " + data.sys.country);
var myDate = new Date();

			$("#localtime").html("Time: " + myDate.getHours() + ":" + '0' + myDate.getMinutes()).slice(-2);

However, my code created a different problem for me. Now if the clocked says that it’s 1:12pm, my weather app will display it as 1:012pm. Any suggestions on how to fix this issue?

Hello

To achieve what you are looking for you should check if minutes variable is lower than 10 before you decide to prepend 0 to it. I won’t give you a ready solution for this, but instead give you an example:

var dt = new Date();
console.log((dt.getMinutes() > 9 ? '' : '0') + dt.getMinutes()); // this will always display 2 digits

Thanks for the assistance.
