Challenge

Given a time and a timezone as input, output the time in that timezone.

Time

The time will be given in 24 hour format like so:

hh:mm

Where hh is the two digit hour and mm is the two digit minute. Note that the hour and the minute will always be padded with zeroes like so:

06:09

All the times given are at UTC+00:00.

The hours in your output do not have to be padded wih zeroes but your time it must be in 24 hour format

Timezone

The timezone will be given in the following format:

UTC±hh:mm

Where ± is either going to be a + or a - and hh, is the two digit hour and mm is the two digit minute (again, these will be padded with zeroes).

To find the time in that timezone, you either add (if the symbol is +) or subtract (if the symbol is -) the time after the UTC± from the inputted time.

For example, if the input was 24:56 and UTC-02:50, you would subtract 2 hours and 50 minutes from 24:56:

24:56
02:50 -
-----
22:06

The output would be 22:06.

Examples

Chicago

Input:  08:50 and UTC-06:00
Output: 02:50

Kathmandu

Input:  09:42 and UTC+05:45
Output: 15:27

Samoa

Input:  06:42 and UTC+13:00
Output: 19:42

Hawaii

Input:  02:40 and UTC-10:00
Output: 16:40

Note that this has gone to the previous day.

Tokyo

Input:  17:25 and UTC+09:00
Output: 02:25

Note that this has gone to the following day.

Rules

You must not use any built in date functions or libraries.

Assume all input will be valid times and time offsets.

The timezone will be in the range UTC-24:00 to UTC+24:00 inclusive.

In the case of half past midnight, the correct representation should be 00:30, not 24:30.

Winning

The shortest code in bytes wins.

    \$\begingroup\$ If the output doesn't need to be padded would a time like 1:5 be valid instead of 1:05? I'd think only the hours shouldn't be padded. Also your example with 24:56 should that not be 00:56 since you've stated a range up to 24:00 and express similar in your half past midnight scenario? \$\endgroup\$ Commented Sep 11, 2016 at 11:29

Unglolfed for the logic,

  • \$\begingroup\$ This is flawed. Doesn't fulfil the 2nd test (where the hour is incremented). Also, to reduce, why do you use subSequence instead of substring? To golf more, declare Integer i=1; and replace all other Integer by i, so you have i.valueOf instead of Integer.valueOf. \$\endgroup\$ Commented Sep 11, 2016 at 18:41

Try it online!

Explanation

:
59$*:,

Replaces each : with 59 of them and a comma as a separator.

+`(\d+):
$1,$1

Repeatedly duplicates the number in front of a :. So the first two stages multiply the hour-value by 60.

\d+
$*

Convert each number to unary.

T`1`0`-.+

If there's a minus sign in the input, then this transliteration stage turns all the 1s after it into 0s. We're basically using 0 as a unary -1 digit here.

^
1440$*

Insert 1440 1s (i.e. a full day). This is to ensure that the time doesn't get negative.

+`10|\D

This repeatedly removes all non-digits (i.e. the space, the UTC, the + or -, as well as all the , we've inserted) and the 10 combination, thereby cancelling positive and negative digits. This basically subtracts the second number from the first if it's negative, or adds it otherwise.

1{1440}

Removes 1440 1s if possible (basically taking the result modulo 1440 to fit it into a single 24 hours).

^(1{60})*(.*)
$#1:$.2

Decompose the number into hours and minutes by matching as many chunks of 60 digits as possible (counting the chunks with $#1) followed by the remaining digits (whose length is counted with $.2).

\b\d\b
0$&

If there are any single digits in the result, prepend a zero.
