# HourOf (HourOfTheDay)

Call the **HourOf** function to obtain the hour of the day represented by a specified **TDateTime** value.

**HourOf** returns an integer value from 0 through 23 only.

**Declaration**: Function HourOf( const AValue : TDateTime) : Word;

Function HourOfTheDay( const AValue : TDateTime) : Word;

An example of its use.

```pascal
procedure ScriptEvent (var Value : variant);
var
  vHour : string;
begin
 //Get the hour from the selected date in 24 hour format
  vHour := IntToStr(HourOf(Now));
  LogInfo('Hour is        : ' + vHour);
  LogInfo('');
end;
```

**HourOf** has the same functionality as the **HourOfTheDay** function.
