# conversationalTwoDigits(amPM:)

Custom format style portraying two digits that represent the hour and locale-dependent conversational day period formats.

## Declaration

```swift
static func conversationalTwoDigits(amPM: Date.FormatStyle.Symbol.Hour.AMPMStyle) -> Date.FormatStyle.Symbol.Hour
```

## Parameters

- `amPM`: Specifies the format of the day period representation.

## Return Value

Return Value An hour format style customized according to the specified day period format style and the given locale.

## Discussion

Discussion This style pads the hour with a leading zero if necessary. This style may include the day period symbol (a.m. or p.m.), depending on locale, and can include conversational period formats. For example, 07a (narrow), 07AM (abbreviated), 07A.M. (wide).
