def time_tango(day, mytime):
  day = datetime.datetime.strftime('%d/%m/%y')
  mytime = datetime.datetime.strftime('%H:%M')
  daymytime1 = day + mytime
  daymytime = datetime.datetime.strptime(daymytime, '%d/%m/%y %H:%M')

Hey there Einars,

I can see that you were able to look into this and found the function on the new thread, was that able to clear up any questions you had?

If so, I was able to get the challenge to pass by passing the function built into it

import datetime

def time_tango(date, time): 
   return datetime.datetime.combine(date, time)

Thanks, let me know if this doesn't help.

it shows that it doesn't return the right datetime, and by the way ' time = datetime.time(10, 10, 10, 10, None)' in my final code
