time_machine
didn't return the right datetime.
import datetime
starter = datetime.datetime(2015, 10, 21, 16, 29)
# Remember, you can't set "years" on a timedelta!
# Consider a year to be 365 days.
## Example
# time_machine(5, "minutes") => datetime(2015, 10, 21, 16, 34)
def time_machine(take_int, the_string):
if the_string == 'minutes':
offset = datetime.timedelta(minutes=take_int)
elif the_string == 'hours':
offset = datetime.timedelta(hours=take_int)
elif the_string == 'days':
offset = datetime.timedelta(days=take_int)
else:
offset = datetime.timedelta(days=take_int*365)
return starter + offset

line is indented too far. Where it is now makes it part of the final else
condition, so it isn't being performed in the other cases.
Otherwise, good job!
