Tell us what’s happening:

Hello all! I’ve finished my code for the project and everything seems to run ok. When I run the tests, some I pass and some not; however, I’ve tested the failed ones manually and I seem to obtain the expected output. Also, I’ve checked that I am returning a string and not a print statement. I could not find a similar problem in the forums.

Would somebody be so kind to help me here? Thank you very much and happy coding!

Your code so far

def add_time(start, duration, day = ""):

    # Set a list with all days of the week
    days_of_week = ("monday", "tuesday", "wednesday", "thursday", "friday", "saturday", "sunday" )

    # The approach will be to compute the start hour and the duration to minutes
    
    # Turn the input into a list with three items: hour, minutes and AM/PM
    start_list = start.replace(":"," ").split()
    # Sum the hours and the minutes
    start_in_minutes= int(start_list[0])*60 + int(start_list[1]) 
    # Add 12 hours if it's PM
    if start_list[2] == "PM":
        start_in_minutes += 12*60

    # Now do the same with duration
    duration_list = duration.split(':')
    duration_in_minutes = int(duration_list[0])*60 + int(duration_list[1])

    #Now we can add both durations
    total_time_minutes = start_in_minutes + duration_in_minutes

    # We obtain a number that we can split into days, hours and minutes using // and %
    days = total_time_minutes // (24*60)
    days_modulus = total_time_minutes % (24*60)
    hours = days_modulus // 60
    minutes = days_modulus % 60

    # Now that we have the amount of days , hours and minutes transcurred, we can start printing

    #For days
    days_string = ""
    if days > 1:
        days_string = f"({days} days later)"
    elif days == 1:
        days_string = f"(next day)"
    
    
    #For hours and minutes
    time_string = ""
    if hours > 12:
        time_string = f"{hours-12}:{minutes:02d} PM"
    elif hours == 12:
        time_string = f"{hours}:{minutes :02d} PM"
    elif hours == 0:
        time_string = f"12:{minutes :02d} AM"
    else:
        time_string = f"{hours}:{minutes :02d} AM"
    
    #For week days
    next_week_day_string = ""
    if day:
        week_day_index = days_of_week.index(day.lower())
        next_week_day_index = (week_day_index + days) % 7
        next_week_day_string = f", {days_of_week[next_week_day_index].capitalize()}"
    
    # Finally, print 
    return f"{time_string}{next_week_day_string} {days_string}"

print(add_time('3:30 PM', '2:12', 'Monday'))

If you open the browser console you can see more detailed responses from the tests.

For example:

AssertionError: '5:42 PM, Monday ' != '5:42 PM, Monday'

it looks like you have an extra space
