# --description--
Given a date string in EST, output the given date as a string with 12 hours added to the time. Time zone should be preserved.
Example input: `"March 6 2009 7:30pm EST"`
Example output: `"March 7 2009 7:30am EST"`
# --hints--
`add12Hours` should be a function.
```js
assert(typeof add12Hours === 'function');
```
`add12Hours(dateString)` should return a string.
```js
assert(typeof add12Hours('January 17 2017 11:43am EST') === 'string');
```
`add12Hours("January 17 2017 11:43am EST")` should return `"January 17 2017 11:43pm EST"`
```js
assert(
add12Hours('January 17 2017 11:43am EST') === 'January 17 2017 11:43pm EST'
);
```
Should handle day change. `add12Hours("March 6 2009 7:30pm EST")` should return `"March 7 2009 7:30am EST"`
```js
assert(add12Hours('March 6 2009 7:30pm EST') === 'March 7 2009 7:30am EST');
```
Should handle month change in a leap years. `add12Hours("February 29 2004 9:15pm EST")` should return `"March 1 2004 9:15am EST"`
```js
assert(add12Hours('February 29 2004 9:15pm EST') === 'March 1 2004 9:15am EST');
```
Should handle month change in a common years. `add12Hours("February 28 1999 3:15pm EST")` should return `"March 1 1999 3:15am EST"`
```js
assert(add12Hours('February 28 1999 3:15pm EST') === 'March 1 1999 3:15am EST');
```
Should handle year change. `add12Hours("December 31 2020 1:45pm EST")` should return `"January 1 2021 1:45am EST"`
```js
assert(
add12Hours('December 31 2020 1:45pm EST') === 'January 1 2021 1:45am EST'
);
```

}
const minutes = parseInt(time[1].slice(0, -2), 10);
// Create a date with given parts, and updated hours
const date = new Date();
date.setFullYear(year, month, day);
date.setHours(hours + 12); // Add 12 hours
date.setMinutes(minutes);
let hoursOutput = date.getHours();
let abbreviation = 'am';

}
return `${months[date.getMonth()]} ${date.getDate()} ${date.getFullYear()} ${hoursOutput}:${date.getMinutes()}${abbreviation} EST`;
