Question

I’ve written this code that display the current time, but my problem is it doesn’t diplay time with am or pm format, it just displays, for example, 12:00. without am or pm

    java.util.Calendar thetime = java.util.Calendar.getInstance();
    int h = thetime.get(java.util.Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY);
    int m = thetime.get(java.util.Calendar.MINUTE);

    System.out.println("the current time is"+ h +":"+m);

Answer 1

Try adding:

int a_p = thetime.get(java.util.Calendar.AM_PM);
String am_pm;
if(a_p==0)
    am_pm = "AM";
else
    am_pm = "PM";

Then add am_pm at the end of your output.

Anyway you should prefer SimpleDateFormat, try looking at it here.
