I'm having trouble with timedelta minutes challenge task

I don't get what to do next, can I maybe get some hints if I'm on the right track here ? Any help is greatly appreciated !

minutes.py 
def minutes(datetime1, datetime2):
    datetime_difference = datetime1 - datetime2
    datetime_difference.timedelta.total_seconds()
    return datetime_differnece.round(minutes)

Here's a few hints:

  • the instructions say "You'll need to subtract the first from the second."
  • the difference between to datetimes is a timedelta (you don't need ".timedelta")
  • you'll need to divide the seconds by 60 to get minutes
  • "round" is a function not a class method
