Hints

General

  • Your function should parse the passed-in datetime object, add a gigasecond's worth of time to it, and then return the result.

  • If you're having trouble, remember to take a look at the provided test cases under the Tests tab. These will help you figure out what the expected inputs and outputs of your function(s) should be.

  • Most of the time, code is read rather than written, and a big number can be a challenge to read. Here are a couple of approaches to making big numbers in your code more readable:

    • Using underscores (_) in numeric literals can help offset thousands, hundred-thousands, millions, etc. (ie: 1_000_000 or 10_100_201_330 is far more readable than 1000000 or 10100201330.) See PEP-0515 for more information.

    • Scientific notation can be more compact and easier to scan when there are very large numbers (ie: 1e6, 1 is multiplied by 10 raised to the power of 6, which equals 1000000). For more information, see this reference on scientific notation.
