In Date and Times strftime challenge task 1 of 1 asks to create a function named to_string that takes a datetime and gives back a string in the format 24 September 2012.
After checking work, I get the message:
Bummer! to_string returned the wrong string. Returned '10 October 2015'.
Isn't '10 October 2015' in the format of '24 September 2012'?
my function is:
def to_string(date1):
return date1.strftime("%m %B %Y")
So where's the problem?
Edit: fixed typo. Replaced %m with %d:
def to_string(date1):
return date1.strftime("%d %B %Y")
