NTPC: how to obtain "getHours" in 24 hrs format?

[xkosm14]

Please let me know if is it possible to get NTC timeClient.getHours() in 24hrs format? Always getting 12 hr format.

My piece of Arduino code: Updating RTC chip with NTF time, if current time is 11PM then i got "11" but need "23": rtc.adjust(DateTime(YEAR, MONTH, DAY, timeClient.getHours(), timeClient.getMinutes(), SE));

BTW I know there is a way to use different approach e.g. epoch time or parse getFormattedTime etc...

try:

String getHours24(){ unsigned long hours = timeClient.getHours(); String hoursStr = hours < 10 ? "0" + String(hours) : String(hours);

return String( hoursStr ); }

@xkosm14 use dedicated direct-call functions or use code :-

String getHours24(){ unsigned long hours = timeClient.getHours(); String hoursStr = hours < 10 ? "0" + String(hours) : String(hours);

return String( hoursStr ); }

In NTPClient.cpp the following snippet-

int NTPClient::getHours() const {
  return ((this->getEpochTime()  % 86400L) / 3600);
}

Should ideally be able to return 23 as well.

Eg: for EPOCH = 1585436874‬ the return value should be 23.

Any clue on this? Are we talking about some other getHour() function?
