Scientific Computing with Python Projects - Time Calculator

[rayedsaeed26]

I was coding on pycharm as my replit was not working, and after writing the whole code which was running fine on pycharm and visual studio code and other compilers but on replit it is showing that the index is out of range which is clearly not true otherwise the other compilers would have given the same error as well.

def add_time(start, duration,*args):
    """(string,string,string (optional))-> string

    This function takes in arguments of time in 12 hour format and duration and then
    adds the duration to time and tells the new time and day

    pre-condtion: the number of minutes are between 0 and 59

    >>>add_time("3:00 PM", "3:10")
    6:10 PM

    >>>add_time("11:30 AM", "2:32", "Monday")
    2:02 PM, Monday

    >>>add_time("11:43 PM", "24:20", "tueSday")

I’ve edited your post for readability. When you enter a code block into a forum post, please precede it with a separate line of three backticks and follow it with a separate line of three backticks to make it easier to read.

You can also use the “preformatted text” tool in the editor (</>) to add backticks around text.

See this post to find the backtick on your keyboard.
Note: Backticks (`) are not single quotes (').
