<body>
<div class="clock">
<div class="display">

</div>
<script>
setInterval(function(){
const clock = document.querySelector(".display");
let time = new Date();
let sec = time.getSeconds();
let min = time.getMinutes();
let hr = time.getHours();
let day = 'AM';
if(hr > 12){
day = 'PM';
hr = hr - 12;
}
if(hr == 0){
hr = 12;
}
if(sec < 10){
sec = '0' + sec;
}
if(min < 10){
min = '0' + min;
}
if(hr < 10){
hr = '0' + hr;
}
clock.textContent = hr + ':' + min + ':' + sec + " " + day;
});
