To get the time, the complete working example further below has a function called getClockTime()
getClockTime() includes code to format the clock time into an "AM" or "PM" representation. The following four lines accomplish that.
var ap = "AM";
if (hour > 11) { ap = "PM"; }
if (hour > 12) { hour = hour - 12; }
if (hour == 0) { hour = 12; }
If you want the clock time to represent a 24-hour clock instead of an "AM/PM" representation, simply remove those four lines from the function.
getClockTime() constructs a string of characters representing the clock time. It then returns that construction to whatever JavaScript code calls the function. If you don't want the construction to include the "AM" or "PM" part, remove the last two lines from the code that constructs the clock time.
