These functions aid in translating between a 12h format time of day
and a 24h format time of day[.](#1.sentence-1)

*Returns*: 0h <= h && h <= 11h[.](#2.sentence-1)

[#](http://github.com/Eelis/draft/tree/9adde4bc1c62ec234483e63ea3b70a59724c745a/source/time.tex#L8695)

*Returns*: The 12-hour equivalent of h in the range [1h, 12h][.](#4.sentence-1)

If h is not in the range [0h, 23h],
the value returned is unspecified[.](#4.sentence-2)

[#](http://github.com/Eelis/draft/tree/9adde4bc1c62ec234483e63ea3b70a59724c745a/source/time.tex#L8708)

*Returns*: If is_pm is false,
returns the 24-hour equivalent of h in the range [0h, 11h],
assuming h represents an ante meridiem hour[.](#5.sentence-1)

Otherwise,
returns the 24-hour equivalent of h in the range [12h, 23h],
assuming h represents a post meridiem hour[.](#5.sentence-2)

If h is not in the range [1h, 12h],
the value returned is unspecified[.](#5.sentence-3)
