Solution
Railways and airlines use the 24-hour clock format as they operate round the clock (24 hours).
The main features of the 24-hour clock system are:
- a.m. and p.m. are not used in order to avoid confusion.
- Time is shown by 4 digits. The first two digits indicate the number of hours, and the next two digits indicate the number of minutes.
- Time is expressed continuously from 00.00 (midnight) to 24:00.
