I need help doing this short program

user is to input T1 in the formate hh:mm:ss
user is to input T2 in the formate hh:mm:ss
TM= 12:00:00
Tz= TM+T1-T2 (output in hh:mm:ss form)
Ty=(Tz/2)+T2 (output in hh:mm:ss form)
Tx=(Tz/3)*2 (output in hh:mm:ss form)
Tn=(Tx+T2) (output in hh:mm:ss form)

Use duration function
% String
T1str = "02:30:31";
T2str = "08:06:45";
TMstr = "12:00:00";
% Convert to duration
T1 = duration(T1str)
T1 = duration
02:30:31
T2 = duration(T2str)
T2 = duration
08:06:45
TM = duration(TMstr)
TM = duration
12:00:00
% Duration calculation
Tz= TM + T1 - T2
Tz = duration
06:23:46
% Do the rest yourself

Thanks, solution is OK, but I need program to prompt for the time of T1 & T2
You can use "input" function which is not possible in on-line platform here. doc "input" in matlab.

I try to use input fuction
but what is the correct way to input time in the formate: hh:mm:ss?
% T1str = "02:30:31";
% Change above into the following
T1str = input("Enter T1 in format hh:mm:ss", "s");
% Do the same for T2str
Perfect, thanks a lot dear Chunru...
