No it's not that simple. Does 12 AM means 12:00 (noon)? Does 12 P.M. means 24:00 (PM so + 12, nidnight)? I'm afraid not.
Let's look at order of hours in 12-h time notation: ... 10 A.M. 11 A.M. 12
P.M. 1 P.M ... 10 P.M. 11 P.M. 12
A.M. 1 A.M. ...
I don't want to start a flame war: which notation is better, but I want to point out that besides math you have to remember 2 special cases!
I've finished math studies but I feel uncomfortable that i have to do simple math and check 2 special cases every time I'm checking time on my Kindle.
