The thing i am not sure of however, is if you worked 2300 to 4 in the morning. I was possibly thinking an if statement could resolve this. like if (end<start) hours= am i on the right track? any input is welcome!!!!

The only way end time would be before start time is if end time was in the next day. Then you could do something like 2400 - start time + end time to get the time between the two. 2400 - 2300 = 100 + 400 = 5 hours. That is how I would initially tackle it and see if it works out for various calculations. You can do this method since it is military time, 12hr clock would be a bit more tricky. Hope that helps.
