The third function of our Fake Data Generator will be the Time function, Fake Time is very easy to implement, all we need is call random function two times, one for minutes (0,60) and another for hours (0,12 or 0,23) based on the argument s (style).

Let’s start: First we need to Import random, the function def ftime() will take one integer argument (s) represent the time style.
If the s = 12 then the time format will be regular start from 1 and end at 12, the number will be generated randomly using random.randint, also we will select random.choice([‘ AM’,’ PM’]) to be added to the time and return it back.
If the s = 24 or nothing been passed then the time format will start from 0 to 23 (Military Time Format). Another random integer (0,60) to be generated as minutes.

        This function will generate a fake time, the
        function accept one int argument s.

        If s = 12 function return Regular time format, 
        If s = 24 function return military time format 
        (the 24 format system).

        If No argument passes then default time system
        format will be 24 system (military time)

        Argument: int : s, if No argument then default is 24.
