Question

My code from the data/time module on Codeacademy...can't get past this one section called "Hot Date"
===========
from datetime import datetime

now = datetime.now()
print now
year = str(now.year)
month = str(now.month)
day = str(now.day)

print str(month), "/" + str(day), "/" + str(year)

================

it prints out this


2013-11-02 14:06:22.683693
11 /2 /2013
None

=================
Yet, Codeacademy won't let me get past this exercise

Oops, try again! Your printed date doesn't seem to be in the proper format: mm/dd/yyyy
=================
Any ideas?

Answer 1

Not sure why you are getting spaces. What I had done:
```
from datetime import datetime

now = datetime.now()
print now
current_year = now.year
m=now.month
d=now.day
bla= str(m)+'/'+str(d)+'/'+str(current_year)
print bla
```

Same basic stuff. Order of doing a few things is different, but nothing major. Not sure ehy mine works and not yours.

Answer 2

Thanks...you actually figured it out for me. I was using the commas as in the example. I removed the comma after the str(month)...etc. and replaced it with the +. It works now. Thanks for getting me on the right track.

Answer 3

Ah! I missed seeing those. I was looking at the + and wondering how you got spaces.
