Question

This question concerns the construction of a doctest test script for a Python function by using execution path analysis. The purpose of this function is to accept a string value as a parameter and determine whether it is a valid representation of a 12 hour clock reading. The string is a valid representation if the following applies:

- It comprises 1 or 2 leading digits followed by a colon followed by 2 digits followed by a space followed by a two letter suffix.

- The leading digit(s) form an integer value in the range 1 to 12.

- The 2 digits after the colon form an integer value in the range 0 to 59.

- The suffix is
