military time
Military time, also known as the 24-hour clock, is a timekeeping system that runs from 00:00 to 23:59. In this format, the day starts at midnight (00:00) and ends just before the next midnight (23:59). This system eliminates confusion between AM and PM, making it easier to schedule events, especially in military operations and aviation.
In military time, hours are expressed as two digits, followed by two digits for minutes. For example, 1:00 PM is written as 13:00, while 11:00 PM is 23:00. This format is widely used in various fields, including healthcare and transportation, to ensure clarity and precision.
