// Calculating the number of seconds alive

// then by the number of weeks in a year, and finally by the number of years alive
const secondsAlive = secondsPerDay * daysPerWeek * weeksPerYear * yearsAlive;
// Logging the total number of seconds alive to the console
console.log(`I've been alive for more than ${secondsAlive} seconds.`);
