It's Spanish Time!

Question

I have a simple task that should be relatively easy to implement by means of code. Your goal is to write a program that will output the time written in Spanish, given the time in HH:MM format. Many people likely don't know how to do this, so I will elaborate.

Time in Spanish is fairly logical. It usually follows the pattern of "Es la/Son las (hour) y (minutes)." Hours are in a 12-hour format, and "Es la" is only used if the hour is 1 (i.e. one o'clock). The minutes are a different story. If the minute is less than 30, then it is represented as shown above. If the minute is over 30, however, then the hour is rounded up and the minute is subtracted. For example, 7:35 is translated to the equivalent of "8 hours minus 25 minutes." Some more examples will be given below. The list of Spanish numbers that are necessary can be found here. There are accents on some numbers, but these are not necessary.

Note: The source says "uno," but to be grammatically correct it should be "una." This shouldn't affect any answers so far.

Note 2: Also, "cero" is not necessary. If your program outputs "Es la una" or "Son las tres," that is fine with me. Sorry for these rule changes.

Rules

• Input will be provided through STDIN or the equivalent in your language.
• No reading from outside libraries.
• Your code can do anything with invalid input.

Bonuses

• -10 if your code adds these extra phrases - "y cuarto" for :15, "y media" for :30, and "menos cuarto" for :45 (rounded up).
• -15 if your code can handle A.M. and P.M., responding with "de la mañana" and "de la tarde," accordingly.
• -15 if your code can translate the current time if no input is provided.

Scoring

• This is a code-golf challenge, and it will be scored by bytes, not characters.

Examples

Input: 8:10 Output: Son las ocho y diez.

Input: 6:45 Output: Son las siete menos quince (or cuarto).

Input: 1:29 Output: Es la una y veintinueve.

Input: 12:55 Output: Es la una menos cinco.

Let me know if there is anything to specify here. This is my first question, so it is definitely not perfect.

Yes, the least expected language to appear on a golf contest, coded by the world's worst golfer, is back!

Java - 676 bytes (716-10-15-15)

Ungolfed:

public class A {

    public static void main(String[] a) {
        java.util.Calendar c = java.util.Calendar.getInstance();
        int h, m;
        String s = "";
        h = c.get(c.HOUR);
        m = c.get(c.MINUTE);

        s += (c.get(c.AM_PM) == 0) ? " de la mañana." : " de la tarde.";
        System.out.println(s);
    }
}

Deals with the quarto and media, with the AM/PM and has no input. So I can claim all the bonuses, even though that, if I didn't implement those features, I'd have an even lower score, lol. facepalms

Answer 3

Python 3: 294 chars - 10 = 284

h,m=map(int,input().split(':'))
t="y"
d="yunoydosytresycuatroycincoyseisysieteyochoynueveydiezyonceydoceytreceycatorceycuarto".split(t)*2
if m>30:h=h%12+1;m=60-m;t="menos"
print(["Es la una","Son las "+d[h]][h>1],t,[d[m]or"cero",["dieci","veint"+'ei'[m>20],"media"][m//10-1]+d[m%10]][m>15]+".")

This gets the ten-point bonus for using "cuarto" and "media"

We read the hours and minutes as ints. If the minutes are above 30, we move to the next hour, measure minutes away from 60, and change the conjunction to "menos".

The list d has translations of Spanish numbers up to 15. We make d[0] be '' to prevent things like "diecicero". This is done by awkwardly calling split(' ') with an initial space; the regular split would just ignore it. The zero-minute case is handled later.

To get numbers above 15, we combine the tens-digit string with the appropriate one-digit string. 15 and 30 are written as "media" and "cuarto" at no cost.

Python 3 saves one char net over Python 2: -4 for input instead of raw_input, +2 for parens in print, +1 for //.

Answer 4

C++: 474 ... 422 411 bytes

This version is redeeming the cuarto/media bonus (-10).

Answer 5

PHP, 351 349 360 - 15 = 345 Bytes

<?$a=split(~ß,~œšßŠ‘ß›Œß‹šŒßœŠž‹ßœ–‘œßŒš–ŒßŒ–š‹šßœ—ß‘Šš‰šß›–š…ß‘œšß›œšß‹šœšßœž‹œšßŽŠ–‘œšß›–šœ–߉š–‘‹–ß‹š–‘‹ž)?><?=preg_filter(~Ð×ÑÔÖÅ×ÑÔÖК,'(($h=($1-($k=$2<31))%12+1)>1?~¬‘ß“žŒß:~ºŒß“žß).$a[$h].($k?~߆ß:~ß’š‘Œß).(($m=$k?$2+0:60-$2)<16?$a[$m]:($m<20?$a[16].$a[$m%10]:($m<21?viente:($m<30?$a[17].$a[$m%10]:$a[18])))).~Ñ',$_GET[0]?:date(~·Å–));

This program is not command line: it takes input via $_GET[0]. You may have to disable notices in your php.ini. Now comes with auto time with no input, thanks to Niet the Dark Absol.

Tricks used:

~(...) saves one byte by bitwise inverting a string, as you don't need quote marks as PHP usually assumes all ASCII from 0x80 to 0xFF is a string.

<?=preg_filter(...,...): The <?= is a shortcut for writing <? echo. preg_filter() usually applies replacements on a string using a regex, but we can use the depreciated /e modifier to evaluate the resulting string as PHP code. Hence, instead of having to split the input string into two separate variables, we can use backreferences ($1 and $2) on the matched input string, saving large amounts of bytes.

Answer 6

Lua, 450 - 10 (cuarto/media) - 15 (manana/tarde) = 425

n={'uno','dos','tres','cuatro','cinco','seis','siete','ocho','nueve','diez','once','doce','trece','catorce','cuarto',[20]='veinte',[30]='media'}for i=1,9 do n[i+10]=n[i+10]or'dieci'..n[i]n[i+20]='veinti'..n[i]end H,M=io.read():match('(%d+):(%d+)')H,M=H+0,M+0 X,Y='tarde',' y 'if H<12 then X='manana'end if M>30 then H,M,Y=H+1,60-M,' menos 'end H=(H-1)%12+1 S=H==1 and'es la una'or'son las '..n[H]if M>0 then S=S..Y..n[M]end S=S..' de la '..X print(S)

• Dropped 12 bytes by rewriting the generator for 21-29.
• Dropped 1 more by replacing H>=12 with H<12 and switching the dependent expression around.
• Dropped 4 more by polluting the global namespace from a function (evil, but in the interest of golfing :).
• Fixed the regex, I forgot the colon. Doesn't change the byte count, however.
• Fixed the case of zero minutes, swapped table.concat out for string ops, and added @edc65's suggestion, ultimately adding 22 bytes.
• I am shamed. Pulling the function body out into the main chunk reduced the length by a whopping 15 bytes.

Perl - 297 - 10 + 1 = 288 (counting the p flag)

Edit: thanks to @guifa, I can now claim a bonus :)

#!/usr/bin/perl -p

Here is the same code in multiple lines for readability:

            ? (once, doce, trece, catorce, cuarto)[$_ > 9 ? $_ -11 : 5]

                . (0, un.pop, dos, tres, cuatro, cinco, seis, siete, ocho, nueve)[$_ % 10]

}

Insanely long for Pyth but that's because there's some raw data. Can probably be golfed even further. Uses obvious technique of splitting task up into hours, y/menos, tens digit of minutes, and ones digit of minutes and then translates numbers using translation array and everything else using a crap-ton of ternaries.

Golfing History

• 10 bytes - bonus, quince and trienta can just be replaced in translation array so no changes required except translation essay and its same size.
• 6 bytes - reorganized ternaries - unfortunately this removed the 4 consecutive ternary operators :(
• 6 bytes - other various golfing
• 6 bytes - golfed initial hour/min assignment
• +3 bytes - fixed uno/una
• 3 bytes - constructed veinti from veinte, not hardcoded
• 18 bytes - extracted dieci from teens<16
• 2 bytes - removed some spaces in there for no reason
• 2 bytes - used \ for one char strings
