I realized it had something to do with tupilation
The simple fix is to add the * into the original code.
Startt = datetime.datetime(*Startt)
I am not sure what "dts1 == Startt # True" does....
It demonstrates that the version with the "*" gives the same result as
the first expression. That line is not needed by any code, it's just
there to show you that the proposed expression gives the desired result.
Thank you.....

Your problem is that datetime.datetime does not accept a tuple as an
argument. It expects an integer value for the first argument, but you
supplied a tuple. In Python, you can use a sequence (e.g., tuple or
list) the way you want by prefixing it with an asterisk. This causes the
sequence of items to be treated as individual arguments. So:
Startt = datetime.datetime(2022, 12, 13, 5, 3, 30)
st1 = (2022, 12, 13, 5, 3, 30)
dts1 = datetime.datetime(*st1) # NOT datetime.datetime(st1)
dts1 == Startt # True

As is, Test A works.
Comment out Test A and uncomment Test B it fails.
In Test B, I move the data into a variable resulting with the report:
"TypeError: an integer is required (got type tuple)
How do I fix this?

while (minutes > 59):

minutes = round(minutes)
print()
print (" Hours = <" + str(hours) + ">")
