Am I supposed to work with timedelta differences or can I go directly to datetime arguments?

This exercise is being harder to understand than I thought at first.

So, I have to create a function that recieves 2 arguments, on of those is a string with either "hours" or "days" or... and I'm supposed to return a datetime with the difference between the starter date and the new date?

I'm really confused and there are no real hints I can use.

Glad you got it! I'm always happy to have suggestions on how to make code challenges clearer.

Finally, after a couple of tries I got it. Timedeltas was the answer.
