changing a 24 hour clock to a 12 hour clock
could somone please show me how to change this clock object to display 12 hour time instead of 24? using AM and PM as well? i've wrote this 24 hour clock from a walkthrough but cant figure out how to change it to a 12 hour clock? heres the code:
/**
* The ClockDisplay class implements a digital clock display for a
* European-style 24 hour clock. The clock shows hours and minutes. The
* range of the clock is 00:00 (midnight) to 23:59 (one minute before
* midnight).
*
* The clock display receives "ticks" (via the timeTick method) every minute
* and reacts by incrementing the display. This is done in the usual clock
* fashion: the hour increments when the minutes roll over to zero.

publicclass ClockDisplay
{
private NumberDisplay hours;
private NumberDisplay minutes;
private String displayString;// simulates the actual display
/**
* Constructor for ClockDisplay objects. This constructor
* creates a new clock set at 00:00.

public ClockDisplay()
{
hours =new NumberDisplay(24);
minutes =new NumberDisplay(60);
updateDisplay();
}
/**

public ClockDisplay(int hour,int minute)

hours =new NumberDisplay(24);
minutes =new NumberDisplay(60);

}
/**

* the clock display go one minute forward.
*/
publicvoid timeTick()
{
minutes.increment();
if(minutes.getValue() == 0){// it just rolled over!
hours.increment();
}
updateDisplay();
}
/**

* minute.

{
hours.setValue(hour);

updateDisplay();
}
