It is better to represent it with 0000.

both 0000 to 1200 is AM, and 1200 to 0000 is PM.
Use the 24-hour clock to prevent mis-understanding, as Europe and the US Military: 1200 is Noon, 0000 or 2400 is midnight. Thanks - I agree but that doesn't solve the computer time clock problem. The slot to the right of 12:00 on my system always has either AM or PM. Most of North America uses a 12 hour clock so the problem is not solved by switching to a 24 hour clock. Greenwich doesn't have an answer - "12:00 AM and 12:00 PM have no meaning." http://wwp.greenwichmeantime.com/info/noon.htm
1200
No such time as '12 am'. 'am/pm' are the Latin initials for 'ante/post meridian' ; before/after noon'. If it is '12' , then it is either 'noon' or 'midnight'. It is NEITHER 'am' NOR 'pm'. Assuming you mean '12 noon' , then in 24 time it is '1200 hours'. If it is '12 midnight' , then in 24 hour time it is either '0000' or '2400' . However, '0000' and '2400' are NEVER used , because of confusion over the day/date. The earliest time on the 24 hour clock is '0001' and the latest time is '2359'. Organisations, such as Military, Railways, Commerical Flying, and Shipping. always use 24 hour time. Note ; In 24 hour time there are four digits. The left hand two digits are the hours of the '24 hour' day . The right hand two digits are the minutes of the hour. As an example '1200' , the '12' is the number of hours on the clock. The '00' represents the minutes on the clock. So 1201 hours is one minute past midday. Howevver, since there are 60 minutes in one hour, the second(right) hand digits never go above '59' . There is NO such time as '1261' on the 24 hour clock. Hope that helps!!!!!
I t is impossible to answer the question since there is no time such as 1200 am. It is either 1200 noon or 1200 midnight and, for obvious reasons, they will give different answers.
