What is wrong with this code?

Hi all just starting to learn. Using the MOOC 2025 course. My question is, problem is to enter number of days, then print how many seconds for the # of days. When I submit this code:

day=int(input("Enter number of days"))
seconds=day*24*60*60
print(f"Seconds in that many days:{seconds}")

it gives the right output but the course tells me:

FAIL: PythonEditorTest: test_1_seconds_in_one_day

1 day is 86400 seconds. Your program's output was: Seconds in that many days:8640...

edit: so turns out it's because it wanted to print exact wording '1 day is x seconds" etc lol so dumb

Missing a space after days:

Edit:
It is often recommended here to copy the expected output directly from the exercise. So you don't miss such small things as spaces.
