[Tutor] 12 hr to 24 hr time conversion

[Raúl Cumplido]

Hi Praveen,

Do you want to create the functon time24hr which with a string as an
argument of the type ("12:24am") or ("12:24pm") returns an output of
("0024hr") or ("1224hr"), right?

Is this format fixed? I mean, can you create a two arguments function? (i.e
time24hr("12:24", "AM") )

If you cannot change the format of the functions / arguments, I don't know
if there's any standard function to do that, but I will create a function
with this steps inside:
1.- Check the format of the input is ok (has the hour format and the am or
pm suffix)
2.- Check if it's am or pm
3.- Calculate if I had to modify the hour 12 -->  00 , 11 --> 23 ....
3.- Return the output format.
