For hours 01–11, keep the hour and minutes and use AM. Drop the leading zero from the hour: 10:00 = 10:00 AM.
To convert 10:00 AM back to 24-hour time, replace hour 12 with 0, then add 12 for PM or leave it unchanged for AM. Keep the minutes to get 10:00.
Remove the colon from the 24-hour time, keeping two digits each for hours and minutes: 10:00 → 1000. This represents a clock time, not a duration of 1000 hours.
