Basic Python String Concatenation + Math Issue, Code Included

This is my code: 

age = 11
days = age*52*7    
decades = age/10    
estimate = round(decades)    
summary = "I am " + {} + " days old! Thats about " {} " decades!".format(str(estimate), str(decades))

Where is the syntax error?

Your format line is incorrect.

summary = "I am  {} days old! Thats about  {}  decades!".format(estimate, decades)

Unlike other answers, notice that I also removed the str from your format tuple. It is not needed.

You may wish to look at output message as well. It currently outputs I am 1.0 days old! Thats about 1 decades!. At last check, a decade is more than 1 day.

This error is occurring because of this line:

estimate = round(decades)

Your estimate uses the decades variable, instead of your days variable

You're using format incorrectly. It should be like this:

summary = "I am {0} days old! Thats about {1} decades!".format(str(estimate), str(decades))

You are using the format syntax incorrectly. The curly brackets go inside your string, so:

summary = "I am {} days old! Thats about {} decades!".format(str(estimate), str(decades))
