Trouble with variables.

The question is to make a variable that shows your age...

age = "31" print(age)

I don't know why that doesn't work.

days_alive.py 
age = age("31")
int(age)

Then I tried it as an int() and it didn't work.

Hi kyle you don't need to use print for any of the challenges...I just did it and you just need to write 

age = 31

NOTE in later challenges you would have to use 'return' however it's not need right now
