conversion problem: int into str

im not getting how this works, every time i try to convert days to a string, days = str(days), it gives me an error

days_alive.py
age = 26
days = 26 * 52 * 7

summary = "I am ", days, " old!"

Hi, the problem here isn't str(days), it's the way you're concatenating string will cause syntax error.

summary = "I am ", str(days), " old!"     # wrong
summary = "I am " + str(days) + " old!"   # correct

yeah, I figured it out. Thanks.
