915 PointsWhat is the right answer for task 3. I am not sure why when I am writing the answer to task3, task1 become wrong?
Could you please write the right answer to task3? And also, why when I write the answer to task3, the answer to task 1 become wrong? There was no change made to that line of code
age= 27
days = age *52 *7
summary= I am int(days) days old!"

summary = "I am " + str(days) + " days old!" # the plus signs add of the these strings together
When you call str(days) you get the original number, let's say 2792, and it turns it into a string "2792." Now you are able to add that string to the rest of the string. A better way to do this is what Hanley said:
summary = "I am {} days old!".format(days)
The {} will be filled in with whatever you format the code with (in this case, days).

Either of these should work:
summary= "I am {} days old!".format(days)
summary= "I am " + str(days) + " days old!"
