Basic Syntax

[next hazel]

I'm new to programming in C++ and I'm trying to solve the image problem however I don't know what I'm doing wrong
´´´#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main(void)
{
int hours, minutes,datetime;
hours=15;
minutes=35;
datetime=" "
if(hours==0)
{
hours=12;
}
if(hours>12)
{
hours=hours-12;
}
if(hours==12)
{
hours=12;
}
if(hours<12)
{
datetime=AM;
}
else if(hours>=12)
{
datetime=PM
}
cout<< hours<<":"<<minutes<<datetime;

return 0;
}´´´

#include <iostream>
#include <string>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
    int hours = 15, minutes = 35;
    std::string datetime;
    
    if(hours==0)
    {
        hours=12;
    }
    if(hours>12)
    {
      hours=hours-12;
    }
    if(hours==12)
    {
        hours=12;
    }
    if(hours<12)
    {
        datetime = "AM";
    }
    else if(hours>=12)
    {
        datetime = "PM";
    }
   cout<< hours<<":"<<minutes<<datetime;
    
    return 0;
}```

first of all you don't need to put any parameters in the main() function

Second of all you have to declare the type you want when making a variable

for datetime you should use string

which is in the <string> header

other than that it works

I also recommend to not use "using namespace std" as you can get collisions if your not careful
