Convert Military Hours to Normal Hours

Question

I'd like my hours section to be set to 1–12 and not 0–23. Thank you.

Here's the JavaScript:

   setInterval(function(){ time();}, 1000)

function time(){
 var dates = new Date();

 var newDates = dates.toDateString();
 // var clock = dates.toLocaleTimeString();
 var seconds = dates.getSeconds();
 var minutes = dates.getMinutes();
 var hours = dates.getHours();
 var stringSeconds= String(seconds);
 var stringMinutes= String(minutes);
 var stringHours= String(hours);
 newDate.textContent = newDates;
 newDivSeconds.textContent =  stringSeconds;
 newDivMinutes.textContent = stringMinutes + '   :' ;
 newDivHours.textContent = stringHours + '   :';

@aryamccarthy -- No, I think the system time is grabbed at a single moment, the `new Date()` at the beginning. — Michael Lorton, Apr 09 '17 at 02:29

var usHours = (date.getHours() % 12) || 12;

Use the modulus operator

var usHours = date.getHours() % 12;

This puts values in the range 0–11, not 1–12. – Arya McCarthy Apr 09 '17 at 02:27
