Tell us what’s happening:

What is the problem in that code? im still getting error"You should print the formatted timestamp using self.timestamp.strftime(‘%Y-%m-%d %H:%M’)"
def display_full_email(self):
self.mark_as_read()
print(‘\n— Email —’)
print(f’From: {self.sender.name}‘)
print(f’To: {self.receiver.name}’)
print(f’Subject: {self.subject}‘)
print(self.timestamp.strftime(‘Received: %Y-%m-%d %H:%M’))
print(f’Body: {self.body}’)
print(‘------------\n’)

Your code so far

Welcome back to the forum @vuthnarak2005

You should print the formatted timestamp using self.timestamp.strftime('%Y-%m-%d %H:%M'). Add Received: followed by a space before it.

The string Received: needs to go before the timestamp.

Happy coding

Is that currect sir ?print(‘Received:’, self.timestamp.strftime(’ %Y-%m-%d %H:%M’))

Hi @vuthnarak2005

Use an f-string.

Happy coding

Even trying with a f-string

print(f'Received: {self.timestamp.strftime('%Y-%m-%d %H:%M')}')

I get the following error :

Traceback (most recent call last):
File “main.py”, line 21
print(f’Received: {self.timestamp.strftime(‘%Y-%m-%d %H:%M’)}')
^
SyntaxError: f-string: unmatched ‘(’

Skipping to the next step and checking the code indicates the answer is correct. Even importing the code in an external IDE (namely Pycharm in my case) doesn’t result in this error.
