# Description

Use the twelveHourTime property to operate with military-style 24-hour time.

The setting of the twelveHourTime property affects the format in which the time property reports a time. It also affects the format of the convert command when a time specifier is used.

If the twelveHourTime is true, the time function returns a value including AM or PM. If the twelveHourTime is false, AM or PM is not included; instead, the hour is not reset to 1 after noon. For example, the time 2:35 PM in 12-hour time is equivalent to 14:35 in 24-hour time.
