I am getting the desired output when i run the same code in Jupyter Notebook, but here it says Try Again! Could anyone tell me what is the problem with my code?
import datetime
def minutes():
now = datetime.datetime.now()
today = datetime.datetime.today() - datetime.timedelta(hours = 5)
timediff = now - today
seconds = datetime.timedelta.total_seconds(timediff)
total_diff = round(seconds/60)
return total_diff

The comparison needs to be done on the passed parameters and you won't need to sample the current time/date at all.
