Tell us what’s happening:
The Python terminal indicates a syntax error with my input.
I guess the issue comes from the :%M part of the string in the strftime method, because replacing the “:” with a dash or another character doesn’t result in a Syntax Error.
My answer should be correct, as after skipping ahead to the next step, I can see a similar line of code being used.
Your code so far
