SVCS1994 :
I will be asking a user to enter a specific time: 10AM, 12:30PM, 2:47PM, 1:09AM, 5PM, etc.
I will be using a Scanner
to get the user's input.
How can I parse/convert that String
to a LocalTime
object? Is there any built-in function in Java that will allow me to do that?
user7605325 :
Just use a java.time.format.DateTimeFormatter
:
DateTimeFormatter parser = DateTimeFormatter.ofPattern("h[:mm]a");
LocalTime localTime = LocalTime.parse("10AM", parser);
Explaining the pattern:
h
: am/pm hour of day (from 1 to 12), with 1 or 2 digits[]
: delimiters for optional section (everything inside it is optional):mm
: a:
character followed by minutes with 2 digitsa
: designator for AM/PM
This works for all your inputs.
