For anyone wanting to take it a little further, I wrote a program to find seconds alive for anyone working the program.

I took it one step further by writing the program to work for anyone wanting to know the secondsAlive for their age.

I created an additional variable called daysPerYear. Also created a variable called yearsAlive with a prompt stored in it asking the user, "How many years have you been alive?" Then I created the final variable secondsAlive with the formula in it.

Then I did document.write with the sentence, "You've been alive for " + secondsAlive + " seconds!"

Dave you are an amazing teacher!!! I'm glad I updated the Treehouse Track so I can learn the basics from you.
