Document write is not writing anything. What wrong?

Document.write is not showing anything when I preview it. This is my code 

var secondsPerMin = 60;
var minsPerHour = 60;
var HoursPerDay = 24;
var daysPerWeek = 7;
var weeksPerYear = 52;
var secondsPerDay = secondsPerMin * minsPerHour * hoursPerDay;
document.write(‘there are ‘ + secondsPerDay + ‘ seconds in a day');

Does it look wrong?

It looks like you might have used backticks (`) for some of your quotation marks - make sure you use the correct character to denote strings (' or ").

You also need to be careful with the case of your variable names (hoursPerDay and HoursPerDay are not the same in JavaScript).

Your HoursPerDay in secondsPerDay needs to be capitalized. 

var secondsPerDay = secondsPerMin * minsPerHour * HoursPerDay;
