2,875 PointsCombining two datetimes
The challenge is to create a function that takes two strings(a time and a date), turn them into datetimes and combine them.
When I run my code in a compiler it works correctly. I have tried multiple strptime formats and I cannot get the challenge to complete.
What am I doing wrong?
import datetime
import time
def time_tango(date, time):
today = datetime.datetime.strptime(date, "%x")
now = datetime.datetime.strptime(time, "%X").time()
both = datetime.datetime.combine(today, now)
return both

, you won't need to use strptime
or to create any new variables. The combine
function will take the date
and time
arguments directly.
