Here'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?

I might have done it similarly, although maybe I'd have broken it down into more pieces.

I did this: const yearsAlive = 42; const secondsAlive = secondsPerDay * daysPerWeek * weeksPerYear * yearsAlive;

Seemed to add up ok.
