Things That Count, Challenge Task4

kind of stuck on challenge task 4, I'm guessing im close but getting an error message: Oops! It looks like Task 1 is no longer passing.

My code is as follows:

age = 39 days = 39*52*7 decades = age / 10

estimate = round(decades) summary = "I am {} days old! That's about {} decades!" .format(days, string(decades))

days = age*52*7 You shouldn't have to enter your age manually more than once. Make use of the variable :)

Also you've not used estimate in your string for summary. Additional hint you don't actually need to tell it to be a string.

Yes you are very close. You made a mistake at string. In python, string is denoted by str

age = 24
days = age * 52 *7
decades = 24 / 10
estimate = round(decades)
summary = "I am {} days old! That's about {} decades!".format(days, str(estimate))

I hope it helps.
