I can't get the document.write to show up on preview.

I think I have the var statements and calculations figured out, but I can't even get the document.write to preview at all. I checked that script src is in the html file in the correct spot, and I don't seem to have any typos... Here is what I have in my scripts.js file:

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');

Hi Kathy

You have to write the last line as document.write(‘there are ‘ +secondsPerDay+ ‘ seconds in a day. So your missing + symbol.

Thanks - added the second + sign and put spaces between + and var, and it worked!
