How do I make an integer appear in a string

Okay, I'm trying to write a program that will take the age in integer but print the answer in a sentence. Like when I ask the question, 'how old are you', I get a prompt to input my age in years, convert it by multiplying by 365 days to get the result in days and , then I want to print the response in a sentence. Like 'You are 5500 days old. This is the program I wrote: x = input("How old are you: ") Age = int(x) y = (x * 365) print("You are y days old) I'm not getting the right answer, please help.

in python u can use format specifiers...eg., age = 10 print("Age is %d"%age) output: Age is 10

Raj, it didn't work, there's an error saying that 'a number is required not string'
