def my_function(myparam):
The function should return datetime.datetime.now() + timedelta so you would have a return statement like this if your parameter was named timedelta:
return datetime.datetime.now() + timedelta

54,967 PointsThe time delta will be passed in to your function so you need a parameter to handle this. Below the parameter is named delta. I would also move now into the function.
import datetime
def far_away(delta):
now = datetime.datetime.now()
return now + delta

Courses Plus Student 2,256 PointsSo the "delta", for the time delta argument is built in?
