When you get a syntax error, sometimes the actual problem occurs on the PREVIOUS line, but isn't detected until this line.

Go back to the previous line, the one containing strftime, and match up each pair of round brackets. How many Open brackets ( do you count? How many Close brackets ) do you count?
