Hello, when I run the code below the console is only showing "There are ${SecsPerDay} seconds in a day." Also, I am trying to learn how to use Markdown.
const secsPerMin = 60;
const MinPerHour = 60;
const HourPerDay = 24;
const DayPerWeek = 7;
const WeekPerYear = 52;
const SecsPerDay = secsPerMin * MinPerHour * HourPerDay;
console.log('There are ${SecsPerDay} seconds in a day.');

const secsPerMin = 60; const minsPerHour = 60; const hoursPerDay = 24; const daysPerWeek = 7; const weeksPerYear = 52;
const secondsPerDay = secsPerMin * minsPerHour * hoursPerDay;
console.log(There are ${secondsPerDay} seconds in a day.);
const yearsAlive = 25; const secsPerYear = secsPerMin * minsPerHour * hoursPerDay * 365; const secondsAlive = yearsAlive * secsPerYear;
console.log(I've been alive for more than ${secondsAlive} seconds!);

5,382 PointsMight be of out the scope of this but you could also define your variables like so:
const secsPerMin = 60,
MinPerHour = 60,
HourPerDay = 24,
DayPerWeek = 7,
WeekPerYear = 52;
const SecsPerDay = secsPerMin * MinPerHour * HourPerDay;
console.log(`There are ${SecsPerDay} seconds in a day.`);
