Task 1 not passing after rest of code written

After I attach the rest of the code it tells my task one stopped functioning... anybody else run into similar issues?

days_alive.py 
age = 27
days = 9828
estimate = round(days)
summary = "I am {} days old!".function(estimate)

In your last statement, you don't want to use a function method. I think you meant to use the format method.

Also, the task is meant to have you practice using arithmetic in Python to compute a number instead of you doing it by hand. Specifically, I want to point out the days declaration should be:

days = 52 * 7 * age

Instead of doing work, let Python do work for you!

You should write is as: summary = "I am {} days old!".format(estimate)
