Python Python Basics (2015) Python Data Types Age Calculation

The problem is nothing but just that you have provided type of variable before assigning it a value.

It doesn't happens that way in Python.

Python is dynamic typed, where you dont have to specify the type of variable. Just assign it a value and it'll figure out what kind of variable it is by looking into the value assigned.

years = 35 
days = years*365 
#this seems like a c/c++ code.
#float weeks = days/7
#Unlike C/C++ python is not static-typed language.
weeks = days/7

For better readability, enclose your code inside three backtics. See Markdown Cheatsheet for more details.
