Write a function named time_tango that takes a date and a time. It should combine them into a datetime and return it.

I am having a bit of trouble trying to get this. I would certainly appreciate any help. Here is my code

combo.py
import datetime


def time_tango(d, t):
  d = datetime.date()
  t = datetime.time()
  return datetime.datetime.combine(d, t)

Hi, Shawndee Boyd ,

Write a function named time_tango that takes a date and a time.

Since d, and t are already a date and a time.

  d = datetime.date()
  t = datetime.time()

You really DON'T need these 2 lines in your code, delete them and you're good to go.

Thank you for the help, William. It worked!!! It is obvious that I over-thought this one, lol.
