We’ve managed to print the date and time separately in a very pretty fashion. Let’s combine the two!

from datetime import datetime
now = datetime.now()

print '%02d/%02d/%04d' % (now.month, now.day, now.year)
print '%02d:%02d:%02d' % (now.hour, now.minute, now.second)

The example above will print out the date, then on a separate line it will print the time.

Let’s print them all on the same line in a single print statement!

Instructions

1.

Print the date and time together in the form: mm/dd/yyyy hh:mm:ss.

To start, change the format string to the left of the % operator.

  1. Ensure that it has five %02d and one %04d placeholder.
  2. Put slashes and colons and a space between the placeholders so that they fit the format above.Then, change the variables in the parentheses to the right of the % operator.
  3. Place the variables so that now.month, now.day, now.year are before now.hour, now.minute, now.second. Make sure that there is a ( before the six placeholders and a ) after them.
