If PM and hour < 12, add 12.
If AM and hour = 12, use 00.
24-hour to 12-hour:
If hour = 0, show 12 AM.
If hour < 12, show AM.
If hour = 12, show PM.
If hour > 12, subtract 12 and show PM.Military time conversion is a rule-based format change, not an arithmetic estimate. The converter preserves minutes and adjusts only the hour plus AM/PM label based on standard 12-hour and 24-hour mapping rules.
