Age Program

This program is part of [http://schoolofcode.me/courses/complete-python-web-course-learn-by-building-8-apps](The Complete Python Web Developer Course: Learn by Building 8 Apps). This is the first program in the course, intended to introduce students to Python.

Structure

The program uses one method which asks the user for their age by using the input method:

user_age = input("Enter your age: ")

Then, we convert the age string to an int and multiply it by 365*24*60*60 to get the number of seconds per year:

age_seconds = int(user_age) * 365 * 24 * 60 * 60

Finally, we print out the age to the console for the user to see:

print("Your age in seconds is {}".format(age_seconds))

Method

All of the code above goes in one method, so that we can simply call that method to execute the program. The method looks like this:

def age_program():
    user_age = input("Enter your age: ")
    age_seconds = int(user_age) * 365 * 24 * 60 * 60
    print("Your age in seconds is {}".format(age_seconds))

That way, to run the program we only have to execute the age_program() method.
