age = 25
days = age * 52 * 7
summary = 'I am {} days old!'.format(days)

Here's the solution to the code chalange. In python, you multiply with "*",add with "+",divide with "/", substract with "-".

Hi Chey,

In python, you can initialize a variable with a number, without having to cast it to an int from a string.

# the string "28" is changed (or, cast) to an integer and assigned to the variable age
age = int("28")

# the number 28 is assigned to the variable age
age = 28

Next up, create a variable named days and assign to it the math expression age * 52 * 7

Please let me know if this helps or not!
