204 Pointsproblem (things that count)
I have been given 3 tasks in python basics 'things that count' section. the three tasks are: 1) Create a variable named 'age' that contains your age. (i have completed this task) 2) Now, create a variable named 'days' that is your age multiplied by 52 and multiplied by 7. (i completed this too.) 3) Finally, create a new variable named 'summary' that inserts days into the string "I am {days} days old!" I am not able to complete the 3 task which asks me to create a new variable named 'summary'. please help. thanks.

15,422 PointsAre you using the string.format() method? I'm guessing you might have written this:
summary = "I am {days} days old!".format(days)
... which will throw a KeyError. Instead try one of the following:
summary = "I am {} days old!".format(days)
or
summary = "I am {days} days old!".format(days=days)
