    // CREATED BY: ABHIJIT DAS
    // DATE: 28.6.2012
    
    
    #include<stdio.h>
    #include<conio.h>
    main()
    
    
    {
          int hour, min, hour_12;
          
          printf("Enter a 24-hour time(as xx:xx):\n");
          scanf("%d:%d", &hour, &min);
          
         
                  
          hour_12 = hour - 12;
          
          if( 0 = hour_12  &&  0 = min)
          {
                  printf("The time is 12:00 AM");
                  }
         else if(hour <= 24)
          {
          printf("Equivalent 12-hour time: %d:%d", hour_12, min);
          }
         
          else printf("Invaled time");
          if(hour = 0)
          {
                  printf("You enter an invaled time");
                  }
                  
                  else if(hour > 0 && hour <= 12)
                  {
                       printf("AM");
                       }
                       else if(hour > 12 && hour <= 24)
                       {
                            printf("PM");
                            }
                            else printf("You enter an invaled time");
                            
                            getch();

    Code:
    if( 0 = hour_12  &&  0 = min)
    Be careful, you're mixing up the assignment operator (=) and the relational operator (==).
