16,114 Pointsharder time machine
Kept getting a "bummer" in the challenge so I tried in pyhon and it gave a syntaxError: keywords cant be an expression, but I don't know how to fix that..
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)sda
def time_machine(inte, stri):
string = stri
if string == "year":
return starter + datetime.timedelta(vars()[string] = inte * 365)
else:
return starter + datetime.timedelta(vars()[string] = inte)

367 Pointsstring is a keyword. You can not use the word "string".
