Challenge task not parsing

I am trying to complete the challenge 4, but somehow kept getting an error that "Task 1 is not parsing". Below is my line of codes at the attempt to solving the challenge:

age = 38 days = age * 52 * 7 decades = age/10 estimate = round(decades) summary = ("I am {} days old! That's about {} decades!", (days, str(estimate))

Can someone help point me in the right direction as why this is not parsing - Looks like its a logical error to me.

Hi,

Your issue seems to be this line:

summary = ("I am {} days old! That's about {} decades!", (days, str(estimate))

It should look something like this:

summary = "I am {} days old! That's about {} decades!".format(days, estimate)

Aha, Thanks.
