Project time_calculator.py problems

[muxueya]

One of the test cases:

add_time(“11:43 PM”, “24:20”, “tueSday”)

Returns: 12:03 AM, Thursday (2 days later)

Shouldn’t it return 0:03 AM, Thursday (2 days later) instead?

I’m stuck on this one and can’t get my head around it. Can somebody help me, please?

Kinda, but no. Basically, when the hour is 00, you have to put 12.
Reason is, that as a convention 0:03 AM is referred as 12:03 AM. It’s the same time, just using the 12. It propably stems from the fact when you refer to half an hour after noon, you’ll say “12:30 PM” and not “00:30 PM”.

Thanks a lot, Jagaya! The problem is solved.
