How do you display JavaScript datetime in 12 hour AM/PM format?

Question

How do you display a JavaScript datetime object in the 12 hour format (AM/PM)?

Answer 1

Here my solution

function getTime() {
var systemDate = new Date();
var hours = systemDate.getHours();
var minutes = systemDate.getMinutes();
var strampm;
if (hours >= 12) {
    strampm= "PM";
} else {
    strampm= "AM";
}
hours = hours % 12;
if (hours == 0) {
    hours = 12;
}
_hours = checkTimeAddZero(hours);
_minutes = checkTimeAddZero(minutes);
console.log(_hours + ":" + _minutes + " " + strampm);
}

function checkTimeAddZero(i) {
if (i < 10) {
    i = "0" + i
}
return i;
}
