Your code is incomplete, you aren't setting summary to anything. To make a number a string, you use str(), in this case, str(days). To substitute anything into {}, you call format() on the string with what you want to substitute for {} between the brackets. Your code should be:

age = 25
days = age * 52 * 7
summary = "I am {} days old!".format( str( days ) )

The extra spaces aren't needed, I just added them to make the code more legible.
