Explanation of 5:56 AM to 05:56 conversion

To convert 12-hour time 5:56 AM to 24-hour time format (also known as Military Time) we need to do a few simple steps:

  • If our 12-hour time is PM (after midday) and the number of hours is not equal to 12, we will add 12 to it.
  • If our time is AM (before midday) and the number of hours is equal to 12, then it will be 0 hours in 24-hour (Military) time format.
  • In any other case we just leave the number of hours untouched.
  • And finally we remove AM/PM postfix. Yes, it's that simple.

In our case (5:56 AM) the number of hours is not equal to 0, and it's AM, so we keep it untouched:
