[Tutor] A question about: Adding seconds to datetime object

[Asrarahmed Kadri]

Thanks.

It means, you take a datetime object and then using a timedelta object,
perform the addition, the language takes care of changing the date if the
time crosses midnight.
WOW... this makes life a lot easier..

Have a brilliant evening.
