Hi thanh

The first part of the task is to create a variable called estimate and assign it the rounded value of decades. So this is done by using the round function passing in decades as a parameter. The structure is below but I've left out the actual values so that you can drop them in:

variable = round(parameter)

Second part is then to use String Formatting to replace the place folders {} with the values stored in the variables you've created in the previous tasks. Again I've given you the structure below but left out the actual values:

variable = "I am {} days old! That's about {} decades!".format(first_param, second_param)

Hope it helps!

Hey Thanh!

This is the code that you will need for the whole code challenge! The last 2 lines are the ones that are added during task 4.

age = 16
days = age * 52 * 7
decades = age / 10
estimate = round(decades)
summary = "I am {} days old! That's about {} decades!".format(days, estimate)

Estimate is set to equal a rounded version of decades. Summary is set equal to a string and the values 'days' and 'estimate' are passed in using string formatting.

If you need any further help with this let me know!
