2,740 PointsAdding a timedelta - not sure what the issue is.
Hi all,
I've run this script in Powershell, and it seems happy with it! Please help me understand the mistake I have made.
Kind regards,
Prabhath
import datetime
def far_away(timedelt):
change = datetime.timedelta(hours = timedelt)
return change + datetime.datetime.now()

Task 1 of 1
Write a function called far_away
that takes a timedelta
. Add that timedelta
to datetime.datetime.now()
and return the resulting datetime
object.
So, you don't need to create a new timedelta
object since it is passed as an argument:
import datetime
def far_away(timedelt):
return timedelt + datetime.datetime.now()
