let me back up...

\"The question sometimes arises whether midnight is written as ***2400 or 0000. Military and emergency services personnel refer to midnight both ways***. However, digital watches and clocks that display time in a 24-hour format and computer equipment treat midnight as the start of a new day and express it as 0000.

it depends on the context and on who or what (equipment) is referring to midnight.
