2,327 PointsHarder time_machine function not working, works in PyCharm for all times
import datetime
starter = datetime.datetime(2015, 10, 21, 16, 29)
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(time_int, time_str):
if time_str == "years":
return (datetime.timedelta(days=time_int*365) + starter)
elif time_str == "days":
return (datetime.timedelta(days=time_int) + starter)
elif time_str == "hours":
return (datetime.timedelta(hours=time_int) + starter)
elif time_str == "seconds":
return (datetime.timedelta(seconds=time_int) + starter)

44,806 PointsWhile your code checks for "years"
, "days"
, and "hours"
, it does not check for "minutes"
.
