Hello you guys, I am a newbie in Python and I'm also studying more about Python.
I have a small assignment, I have a small function and I want to display the current time after sleep. Like this:
import datetime
import time
x = datetime.datetime.now()
print (x)
time.sleep(5)
y = datetime.datetime.now()
print (y)
print ("Then: " + x +"\n Now: " + y)
But I get an exception TypeError: can only concatenate str (not "datetime.datetime") to str when I run code above.

2021-09-13 16:41:20.209113
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "main.py", line 9, in <module>
print ("Then: " + x +"\n Now: " + y)
TypeError: can only concatenate str (not "datetime.datetime") to str
And I am using python 3.8.2
Anyone can explain it to me? How can I solve it?
Thanks for any response.

You can change the line of code:
x = datetime.datetime.now()to
x = datetime.now() x = str(x)Change same code for
yvariable and don't forget to change the importdatetimepackage tofrom datetime import datetimeFull fix example:
from datetime import datetime import time #x = datetime.datetime.now() x = datetime.now() x = str(x) print (x) time.sleep(5) y = datetime.now() y = str(y) print (y) print ("Then: " + x +"\n Now: " + y)#Output
2021-09-13 16:52:08.338673 2021-09-13 16:52:13.341120 Then: 2021-09-13 16:52:08.338673 Now: 2021-09-13 16:52:13.341120
