Given an age in seconds, calculate how old someone would be on:
So if you were told someone were 1,000,000,000 seconds old, you should be able to say that they're 31.69 Earth-years old.
If you're wondering why Pluto didn't make the cut, go watch this youtube video.
The Scala exercises assume an SBT project scheme. The exercise solution source should be placed within the exercise directory/src/main/scala. The exercise unit tests can be found within the exercise directory/src/test/scala.
To run the tests simply run the command sbt test
in the exercise directory.
For more detailed info about the Scala track see the help page.
Partially inspired by Chapter 1 in Chris Pine's online Learn to Program tutorial. http://pine.fm/LearnToProgram/?Chapter=01
It's possible to submit an incomplete solution so you can see how others have completed the exercise.

A huge amount can be learned from reading other people’s code. This is why we wanted to give exercism users the option of making their solutions public.
Here are some questions to help you reflect on this solution and learn the most from it.
Level up your programming skills with 3,449 exercises across 52 languages, and insightful discussion with our volunteer team of welcoming mentors. Exercism is 100% free forever.
