does not match format datetimein python

I want to find the difference between two dates

def days_between(d1, d2):
    d1 = datetime.strptime(d1, "%d-%m-%Y")
    d2 = datetime.strptime(d2, "%d-%m-%Y")
    return abs((d2 - d1).days)


x = datetime(2022, 1, 12)
y = x.strftime("%x")
xy = datetime.now()

print(days_between(y, xy.strftime("%x")))

But this error is coming

Traceback (most recent call last):

print(days_between(y, xy.strftime("%x")))

>Solution :

Try this format

x = datetime(2022, 1, 12)
y = x.strftime("%d-%m-%Y")
xy = datetime.now()

print(days_between(y, xy.strftime("%d-%m-%Y")))
