Tell us what’s happening:

Hello, first of all, thank you very much for your time. My problem is that my program can print the result, but it doesn’t return anything. I would really like to identify the error so as not to make it again.

Your code so far

def day_of_the_week(day, n_days):
    week = ['Sunday', 'Monday','Tuesday', 'Wednesday', 'Thursday', 'Friday', 'Saturday']
    days_name = ""
    current_d = week.index(day.capitalize())
    reset_week = week[current_d:] + week[:current_d]
    
    if n_days > 7:
        fix_d = n_days % 7
        days_name = f', {reset_week[fix_d]}'       
        
    else:
        fix_d = n_days
        days_name = f', {reset_week[fix_d]}' 

    return days_name
def add_time(start, duration, day = None):
    
    start_d1 = start.split(':')
    duration_d = duration.split(':')
    start_d2 = start_d1[1].split()
    hours = int(start_d1[0]) + int(duration_d[0])
    minutes = int(start_d2[0]) + int(duration_d[1])
    am_pm = start_d2[1]
    days = 0
    days_note = ""
    new_time = ""
    
    if hours > 24:
        days = int(hours / 24)
        hours = hours % 24 

    if minutes >= 60:
        hours += 1
        minutes -= 60
        
    if hours > 12:
        hours = hours - 12 
        if am_pm == "PM": 
            days += 1
            am_pm = 'AM'
        else:
            am_pm = 'PM'

    elif hours == 12:
        if am_pm == "PM": 
            days += 1
            am_pm = 'AM'
        else:
            am_pm = 'PM'    

    if day:
        day_n = day_of_the_week(day, days)

    if days > 0:
        if days == 1:
            days_note = " (next day)"
        else:
            days_note = f" ({days} days later)" 
    
    new_time = str(hours) + ':' + str(minutes) + am_pm + day_n + days_note

    return new_time

    
(add_time('3:00 PM', '60:10', 'Wednesday'))

what have you used to check that it prints the value?

3

It does return new_time

What error are you getting, exactly?

4

Thank you, you were right, it’s return new_time. I only needed to add one case to give the right format to the minutes that were less than 10.
