Example Code Demonstrating a Way to Format Time.

This is a Gradle project. You will find the source code under the src/main directory and the test code under the src/test directory.

Without using any built-in date or time functions, write a function or method that accepts two mandatory arguments: the first argument is a 12-hour time string with the format "[H]H:MM {AM|PM}", and the second argument is a (signed) integer. The second argument is the number of minutes to add to the time of day represented by the first argument. The return value should be a string of the same format as the first argument. For example, AddMinutes("9:13 AM", 200) would return "12:33 PM". The exercise isn't meant to be too hard or take very long; we just want to see how you code. Use any mainstream language you want, though Java, Javascript (ES2017), Ruby, Swift, Python, C++ or C# are particularly relevant to us. Please include any test cases that you write.

The source code for the solution is located in the src/main/java/com/example/TimeFormatter.java file. The source code for the unit tests is located in the src/test/groovy/com/example/TimeFormatterSpec.groovy file.

From the project directory run the following from the command line.

./gradlew clean test --info

This will run the tests and create a report in the $PROJECT_DIR/build/reports/tests/test directory. Load the $PROJECT_DIR/build/reports/tests/test/index.html into your browser to view the report.

If you want to import this project into IntelliJ IDEA select Open Project and navigate to the build.gradle file.

To run the test file make sure the src/test/groovy directory is marked as a test source then right click on the src/test/groovy/com/example/TimeFormatterSpec file in the Project window and select Run TimeFormatterSpec.
