I'm in the process of generalizing a library module from my first Python 
programming project to make it more accessible to other projects. The 
code I wrote for that project doesn't make sense anymore. As I 
generalize the library module, I'm also cleaning up the calling code 
from that project and other scripts.

The corrected version of the string function should be:

def format_completed_time(start, end):

          return "Time completed: " + str(end - start)
