Another Way to Display the Time |
we'll need to write a script that looks at the hour and does one of the following:
- If the hour is 0 (zero), the script displays "midnight."
- If the hour is 12, the script displays "noon."
- If the hour is between 1 and 11, the script doesn't change it, but it displays "AM" after "o'clock."
- If the hour is between 13 and 23, the script subtracts 12 (to make it a number between 1 and 11) and displays "PM" after "o'clock."
. The hour is
|
<% if hour(now) = 0 then %>
midnight.
<% end if
if hour(now) = 12 then %>
noon.
<% end if
if (hour(now) >= 1) and (hour(now) <= 11) then %>
<% =hour(now) %> o'clock AM.
<% end if
if (hour(now) >= 13) and (hour(now) <= 23) then %>
<% =hour(now) - 12 %> o'clock PM.
<% end if %> |
