Did you even understand a word I wrote?  Go away.

FWIW: A 12-hour time format can be achieved by starting with

  (d.getHours() % 12) || 12

because the remainder 0 (zero) is converted to boolean “false”, and all 
other remainders to boolean “true”.  When the first operand in a 
/LogicalORexpression/ is converted to “false”, the result of the operation 
and the /LogicalORExpression/ is the second operand [1].

“a.m.”/“p.m.” needs to be handled separately, though, and this would still 
not answer what was “asked” here.  However, the actual question that should 
have been asked is too trivial and too often discussed to deserve further 
consideration (“How can I get a number with a leading zero?”).
