// Constants representing conversion factors
const secsPerMin = 60;  // Number of seconds per minute
const minsPerHour = 60;  // Number of minutes per hour
const hoursPerDay = 24;  // Number of hours per day
const daysPerWeek = 7;  // Number of days per week
const weeksPerYear = 52;  // Number of weeks per year

// Calculating the number of seconds in a day
const secondsPerDay = secsPerMin * minsPerHour * hoursPerDay;

// Logging the number of seconds in a day to the console
console.log(`There are ${secondsPerDay} seconds in a day.`);

// Assuming an age of 32 years
const yearsAlive = 32;

// Calculating the number of seconds alive 
// by multiplying seconds per day by the number of days in a week,
// 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.`);
