Python
#1

Hi i made the code but when i run it has an error , and 2 failures
My code:
def add_time(tim,dur,day_in = ’ ’ ):
days = [“monday”,“tuesday”,“wednesday”,“thursday”,“friday”,“saturday”,“sunday”]
day = 0

time,am_pm = tim.split()

hour,mi=time.split(':')


if am_pm == 'PM':
    hours12 = 12 + int(hour)
else :
    hours12 = hour

extra_hours,extra_mi = dur.split(':')

new_mi = int(mi) + int(extra_mi)
new_hours = int(hours12) + int(extra_hours)

if new_mi >= 60 :
    new_hours = new_hours + new_mi//60
    new_mi = new_mi%60
if new_mi < 10 :
    new_mi = '0'+str(new_mi)

if new_hours > 24:
    day = new_hours // 24
    #if new_hours % 24 == 0:
    #    new_hours // 24
    #else :
    new_hours = new_hours % 24

        
if new_hours >= 12 :
    if new_hours > 12 :
        new_hours = new_hours - 12
    am_pm = 'PM'
else :

    am_pm = 'AM'

re = (str(new_hours)+":"+str(new_mi)+' '+am_pm)

if day_in != ' ':
    days_after = days.index(day_in.casefold())
    if day > 0 :
        while days_after + day> len(days):
          days_after -= 7
        #if days_after + day < len(days):
        pos = days_after + day
                
        
        re = (str(new_hours)+":"+str(new_mi)+' '+am_pm+', '+days[pos].capitalize())
    else :
        re = (str(new_hours)+":"+str(new_mi)+' '+am_pm+', '+days[days_after].capitalize())
 

if day == 0 :
    if day_in == ' ':
        re = (str(new_hours)+":"+str(new_mi)+' '+am_pm)
elif day == 1 :
    re = re +' (next day)'
else:
    re = re+' ('+str(day)+' days later)'
return re

Hey!

For your 2 failures, I think this come from a misconception about the AM/PM system, as I had. Starting hours in AM/PM are 12:xx and not 00:xx.

AssertionError: '0:04 AM, Friday (2 days later)' != '12:04 AM, Friday (2 days later)'
- 0:04 AM, Friday (2 days later)
? ^
+ 12:04 AM, Friday (2 days later)
? ^^

In this error, the “-” line is what you output, the “+” line is what you want. So for passing theses you’ll need to translate the hour 0 to 12.

For this error → 

  File "/home/runner/6Qyo07KJ1Tg/time_calculator.py", line 53, in add_time
    re = (str(new_hours)+":"+str(new_mi)+' '+am_pm+', '+days[pos].capitalize())
IndexError: list index out of range

I think you are iterating more than 6 times, then passing it to the pos variable. You’ll need to find a way to loop through your list of days without exceeding 6 as you list of days’ index is between 0 & 6.

Hope this will help you, I’m also a beginner. :slight_smile:
