Formulas Used

24‑hour → 12‑hour: Let H be hours (0–23), M minutes, S seconds.

  • Period: AM if H < 12, else PM.
  • Hour: h12 = ((H + 11) mod 12) + 1 so 00 → 12, 13 → 1.
  • Format: h12:MM[:SS] AM/PM.

12‑hour → 24‑hour: Let h be 1–12, period P ∈ {AM, PM}.

  • If P = AM: H = (h == 12) ? 0 : h.
  • If P = PM: H = (h == 12) ? 12 : h + 12.
  • Format: HH:MM[:SS], with leading zeros.

Offset conversion: Let Δ = offsetTo − offsetFrom in minutes. Then t' = t + Δ, where t is minutes since midnight. Day shift is noted if t' wraps.
