Now we need to multiply the number years by the number of days in a year. We'll ignore leap years, so just multiply year

how do we multiply the number years by the number of days in a year

age.py 
years = 21
day = 1
year = 365 days
age = years * days

Values are unitless.

So you can give a variable a value of 365, but not 365 days.

Also, note that the calculation you make on the last line uses a variable named "days", but you didn't create one by that name yet.
