import datetime

# Remember, you can't set "years" on a timedelta!
# Consider a year to be 365 days.
## Example
# time_machine(5, "minutes") => datetime(2015, 10, 21, 16, 34)
def time_machine(in_int,in_str):
if in_str=="years":
return starter+datetime.timedelta(days=365*in_int)
else:
return starter+datetime.timedelta(in_str=in_int)
