1,953 PointsHere's how I tackled the secondsAlive problem... you?
First I created a new variable - const daysPerYear = 365;
Then since we had already figured out the calculation for secondsPerDay, I simply multiplied yearsAlive * daysPerYear * secondsPerDay and logged it.
See my code below:
const yearsAlive = 34;
const secondsAlive = yearsAlive * daysPerYear * secondsPerDay;
console.log(I've been alive for more than ${secondsAlive} seconds!
);
How did you tackle this one?

9,411 PointsI did this: const yearsAlive = 42; const secondsAlive = secondsPerDay * daysPerWeek * weeksPerYear * yearsAlive;
Seemed to add up ok.
