There is a function in datetime that can take a date and a time and give you a datetime object. You can find out more about datetime objects at https://docs.python.org/3/library/datetime.html#datetime-objects

28,738 PointsCould you provide your updated code so that we can troubleshoot it more? All you should need to do is return the combined datetime object.

28,738 PointsHello,
In your updated code, it looks like you're doing a lot of unnecessary stuff. You don't need to assign anything to date or time, those values will be passed into the function when it is called. You only need the lines that are creating datetime1 and returning it.
