# --description--

Given a time string in `"HH:MM"` format (24-hour clock), return:

- `"Good morning"` for times `05:00` to `11:59`
- `"Good afternoon"` for times `12:00` to `17:59`
- `"Good evening"` for times `18:00` to `21:59`
- `"Good night"` for times `22:00` to `04:59`

# --hints--

`get_greeting("06:30")` should return `"Good morning"`.

```js
({test: () => { runPython(`
from unittest import TestCase
TestCase().assertEqual(get_greeting("06:30"), "Good morning")`)
}})
```

`get_greeting("12:00")` should return `"Good afternoon"`.

```js
({test: () => { runPython(`
from unittest import TestCase
TestCase().assertEqual(get_greeting("12:00"), "Good afternoon")`)
}})
```

`get_greeting("21:59")` should return `"Good evening"`.

```js
({test: () => { runPython(`
from unittest import TestCase
TestCase().assertEqual(get_greeting("21:59"), "Good evening")`)
}})
```

`get_greeting("00:01")` should return `"Good night"`.

```js
({test: () => { runPython(`
from unittest import TestCase
TestCase().assertEqual(get_greeting("00:01"), "Good night")`)
}})
```

`get_greeting("11:30")` should return `"Good morning"`.

```js
({test: () => { runPython(`
from unittest import TestCase
TestCase().assertEqual(get_greeting("11:30"), "Good morning")`)
}})
```

    total = hours * 60 + minutes

    if 300 <= total < 720:
