Hello guys, I tried my code in my own editor, and it works just fine, but here I get the answer to "try again". Is there something that I am missing?
Thanks for the response!
def minutes(datetime1,datetime2):
return round(datetime.timedelta(seconds=datetime2-datetime1).total_seconds()/60)

First, you can't declare a variable within the parameters of a method call, nor do you need to, so that part will need to be deleted. (seconds=datetime2-datetime1)
should only be (datetime2-datetime1)
.
Second, datetime.timedelta
doesn't actually take any parameters, but instead, should have the .total_seconds()
method called on it directly, and those parameters should be inside of the .total_seconds()
method call.
So, with the exceptions of the "seconds" variable that can't be there, you have everything there. With the above hints, I believe you should be able to refactor the code to pass.
Keep Coding! :)
