Java DateTime 12 hour format

Question

I've got problem with passing date and time (12 hour format) in my LocalDateTime object. Here's what I've done:

LocalDateTime MyDate;
DateTimeFormatter formatter = DateTimeFormatter.ofPattern("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm a");
    MyDate.parse(date_frome_string, formatter)

When I'm trying to past text like:

2020-09-04 09:15 PM

I've got following error:

Exception in thread "main" java.time.format.DateTimeParseException: Text '2020-09-04 09:15 PM' could not be parsed: Conflict found: Field AmPmOfDay 0 differs from AmPmOfDay 1 derived from 09:15

When I'm passing:

2020-09-04 09:15 AM

It's all ok.

You're going to get this fixed, but also — your code should be prepared to handle `DateTimeParseException` and possibly _retry_ parsing with other formats because, while you are pasting what you want, people _**will**_ try to enter other formats. — Stephen P, Nov 09 '20 at 20:11

The format symbol HH explicitly means 24-hour time. Use hh instead for 12-hour time.
