How do you convert regular time to military time?

Question:- How do you convert regular time to military time?

Answer: Converting regular time to military time therefore entails using the 24-hour clock while at the same time discarding the AM/ PM system. For times between midnight and noon (12:00 AM to 11:59 PM), the conversion is also simple and all the values should be expressed in hours and minutes. For example, 8:30 AM in military time still means, 0830. For times from noon to 11:59 PM, Clock hours 12 must be added to the PM number. Thus, in the 12-o’clock format where 1:00 P.M becomes 1300 and 3:15 p.m becomes 1515, and so on. Midnight is again expressed as 0000. When it comes to writing the military time, the colon between the hours and the minutes is to be omitted and all numbers are to be four digits. For times before 10:10 AM, we can add a leading zero to the hour. This system dispenses the necessity to use AM/PM in calling time and reduces the prospect of confusion in time-sensitive activities and therefore is popular use in military operations, aviation, healthcare and other disciplines that require precise time management.
