What is wrong with my code? Thank you!
# If you need help, look up datetime.datetime.fromtimestamp()
# Also, remember that you *will not* know how many timestamps
# are coming in.
import datetime
def timestamp_oldest(*args):
list1 = [*args]
list2 = list1.sort()
oldest = list2[0]
return datetime.datetime.fromtimestamp(oldest)

Treehouse Moderator 68,457 PointsHey Ralph Hellstern, you are very close. The sort()
method sorts a list in place and returns a None
value. The leaves your list2
set to None
.
Use simply list.sort()
alone.
change oldest to be derive from list1
and you should be golden!
