In the Things That Count Challenge Tasks, you declared a variable called age and set it to your age:
age = 24In Task 2, you should have created a variable called days by multiplying your age by 52 (weeks) and 7 (days):
days = age * 52 * 7Recall the function round(number[,ndigits]) which will take a number and round it up or down based the nth digit you specify to the right of the decimal place (ndigits).
By default, if you just call round(number) and omit the ndigits the function will return a floating point number that has been rounded to zero places after the decimal.
estimate = round(days)Lastly, the task asks us to use the curly brackets {} a string placeholder. If you remember, the placeholder can be filled using the string.format() function. Simply feed in the estimate variable to the format() function to create the summary variable.
summary = "I am {} days old!".format(estimate)Best of luck!
