var seconsdsPerMin = 60;
var minsPerHour = 60;
var hoursPerday = 24;
var daysPerWeek = 7;
var weeksPerYear = 52;
var daysPerYear= 365;
var yearsAlive = 22;
var secondsAlive = seconsdsPerMin * minsPerHour * hoursPerday * daysPerYear * yearsAlive;
document.write('I have been alive for more than ' + secondsAlive + ' seconds');
MOD EDIT added code formatting for readability.

Yes, your code is correct. It does the math and does display it to the browser screen.
Good Job.

5,454 PointsYes, I put my age 22 (var years Alive = 22;) But I wondered did I calculate the seconds right? Thanks for commenting!

var daysPerYear= 365; var yearsAlive = 22; var secondsAlive = secondsPerDay daysPerYear yearsAlive;

6,049 PointsGreat answer kalina edwards. Since we already calculated secondsPerDay, We could also get secondsAlive by multiplying it to the 365 days in a year and multiplying that by the years alive, like this:
var secondsAlive = secondsPerDay * 365 * yearsAlive;

Treehouse Moderator 145,858 PointsYou are very Welcome.
If you want to learn other tricks, there is a Markdown CheatSheet under the box where you type in your questions. Also, if you click on "edit question" on your original question here, you will see where I added the 3 backticks with the language name and closed off the block with another 3 backticks. This formats the code into a nicely formatted block.
I hope you enjoy your learning path here on Treehouse.
