When asking a user for a time, you might get several different formats of input – just the hour, the hour and minutes, the hour and minutes and seconds, an indication of “am” vs “pm”. In this project, the Time class will have overloaded constructors, one for each of those possible types of input, and most of the constructors will call the primary constructor. If the input were perfect, there would be values for hour, minutes, and seconds, so that constructor with 3 parameters is the main or primary one. If the input has only hours and minutes, then the constructor with 2 parameters will assign a value of 0 to the seconds and call the primary constructor with all 3 values. If the input has only hours, then the constructor with 1 parameter will assign a value of 0 to the minutes and to the seconds, then call the primary constructor with all 3 values. Only the primary constructor with 3 parameters will assign values to the instance variables.
If there is an additional parameter for “am” or “pm”, use a constructor with 4 parameters – hours, minutes, seconds, and indicator. If the indicator is “pm”, add 12 to the hours to convert to a 24-hour clock. If the input is 4 PM, switch it to 16 hours.
Include a method to display the time with colons separating the units. If the time is 1 hour, 22 minutes, and 35 seconds, print it as 1:22:35.
Run the project and take a screenshot. Change all of the input in the driver class, run it again, and take a screenshot.
== We're Using GitHub Under Protest ==
This project is currently hosted on GitHub. This is not ideal; GitHub is a proprietary, trade-secret system that is not Free and Open Souce Software (FOSS). We are deeply concerned about using a proprietary system like GitHub to develop our FOSS project. We have an open {bug ticket, mailing list thread, etc.} where the project contributors are actively discussing how we can move away from GitHub in the long term. We urge you to read about the Give up GitHub campaign from the Software Freedom Conservancy to understand some of the reasons why GitHub is not a good place to host FOSS projects.
If you are a contributor who personally has already quit using GitHub, please check this resource for how to send us contributions without using GitHub directly.
Any use of this project's code by GitHub Copilot, past or present, is done without our permission. We do not consent to GitHub's use of this project's code in Copilot.
