Clock code assignment

I am told to write a program for a clock that has the user input a time with AM or PM and the user will then input an integer value to move the clock forward x amount of minutes. The first example works on my code but the second one does not. Any help on identifying the issue is greatly appreciated!

Example 1
Enter the current time:
11 23 A
How many minutes forward do you want to move the clock?
39
New time: 12:2 PM
Example 2
Enter the current time:
12 34 A
How many minutes forward do you want to move the clock?
9999
New time: 11:13 PM

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
    int hours, minutes, time;
    char dayOrNight;

        cout << "Enter the current time:" << endl;
        cin >> hours;
        cin >> minutes;
        cin >> dayOrNight;
        cout << "How many minutes forward do you want to move the clock?" << endl;
        cin >> time;
        cout << (((hours+((minutes+time)/60))/12)%2) //for debugging purposes, shouldn't return 0 for 12:34A

    if (hours+((minutes+time)/60)<=12)
    {

        if (minutes+time>=60 && hours!=11)
        {
            cout << "New time: " << hours+((minutes+time)/60) << ":" << ((minutes+time)%60) << " " << dayOrNight << "M"<< endl;
        }
        if (minutes+time>=60 && hours==11 && dayOrNight=='A')
        {
            cout << "New time: " << hours+((minutes+time)/60) << ":" << ((minutes+time)%60) << " PM" << endl;
        }
        if (minutes+time>=60 && hours==11 && dayOrNight=='P')
        {
            cout << "New time: " << hours+((minutes+time)/60) << ":" << ((minutes+time)%60) << " AM" << endl;
        }
        if (minutes+time<60)
        {
            cout << "New time: " << hours << ":" << minutes+time << " " << dayOrNight << "M" << endl;
        }

    }

    if (hours+((minutes+time)/60)>12)
    {
        if ((((hours+((minutes+time)/60))/12)%2)==0)
        {
            if (dayOrNight='P')
            {
                cout << "New time: " << (hours+((minutes+time)/60))%12 << ":" << ((minutes+time)%60) << dayOrNight << "M" << endl;
            }
            if (dayOrNight='A')
            {
                cout << "New time: " << (hours+((minutes+time)/60))%12 << ":" << ((minutes+time)%60) << dayOrNight << "M" << endl;
            }
        }
        if (((hours+((minutes+time)/60))/12)%2!=0)
        {
            if (dayOrNight='P')
            {
                cout << "New time: " << hours+((minutes+time)/60)%12 << ":" << ((minutes+time)%60) << " " << "AM" << endl;
            }
            if (dayOrNight='A')
            {
                cout << "New time: " << hours+((minutes+time)/60)%12 << ":" << ((minutes+time)%60) << " " << "PM" << endl;
            }
        }
    }
}

Hello loumarlin1,

Welcome to the forum.

First off:

PLEASE ALWAYS USE CODE TAGS (the <> formatting button) when posting code.
It makes it easier to read your code and also easier to respond to your post.

Hint: You can edit your post, highlight your code and press the <> formatting button.
You can use the preview button at the bottom to see how it looks.

One error I did fine in that you are missing the ";" at the end of line 16.

I will have to run the program to see what it is doing.

Hope that helps for now,

Andy

thanks for looking at this eyesore! I fixed it out of principal on the forum but I've already fixed the actual problem after an hour or so of torture haha.
