Converts an integer to a suffixed string, adding am or pm based on its value.

• Use the modulo operator (%) and conditional checks to transform an integer to a stringified 12-hour format with meridiem suffix.

const getMeridiemSuffixOfInteger = num =>
  num === 0 || num === 24
    ? 12 + 'am'
    : num === 12
    ? 12 + 'pm'
    : num < 12
    ? (num % 12) + 'am'
    : (num % 12) + 'pm';

getMeridiemSuffixOfInteger(0); // "12am"
getMeridiemSuffixOfInteger(11); // "11am"
getMeridiemSuffixOfInteger(13); // "1pm"
getMeridiemSuffixOfInteger(25); // "1pm"
