2,301 PointsGetting an error stating that the correct answer is wrong.
For some reason I am getting the error " Bummer! to_string returned the wrong string. Returned '24 September 2012'."
I don't understand why because the challenge is asking for exactly that date, yet it's not passing.
Would anyone know why this is happening?
import datetime
def to_string(x):
x = datetime.datetime.now()
x = x.replace(year = 2012, month = 9, day = 24)
z = x.strftime('%d %B %Y')
return z
[MOD: added ```python markdown formatting -cf]

2,301 PointsSorry, I clicked the checkbox that says "attach code to post" but I guess it didn't attach it.
import datetime
def to_string(x):
x = datetime.datetime.now()
x = x.replace(year = 2012, month = 9, day = 24)
z = x.strftime('%d %B %Y')
return z

import datetime
def to_string(x):
#x = datetime.datetime.now()
#x = x.replace(year = 2012, month = 9, day = 24)
z = x.strftime('%d %B %Y')
return z
This should work for Task 1
