# Coding challenge - Memento Mori calculator
[Memento Mori](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memento_mori) is a bit of a grim concept and if it freaks you out, maybe adjust the exercise to calculate the days until your next birthday.
That being said, we all die and we all live in a country with a life expectancy.
The [Belgian](https://www.healthybelgium.be/en/health-status/life-expectancy-and-quality-of-life/life-expectancy) life expectancy for a man is about 80 years so if you know your birthday, which you should, you can calculate your theoretical death day.
Plus, you can calculate the percentage of your life that remains.

<summary>Spoiler warning</summary>
```python3
import datetime
life_expectancy_years = 80.8
life_expectancy_days = life_expectancy_years * 365
delta = datetime.timedelta(days=life_expectancy_days)
date = input("what is your birthday? (example: 1986 10 7) ")
year, month, day = date.split()
birthday = datetime.date(int(year), int(month), int(day))
memento_mori = birthday + delta
days_to_live = memento_mori - datetime.datetime.now().date()
percentage = (days_to_live.days / life_expectancy_days) * 100
print("your theoretical death day is:", memento_mori)
print("that's", days_to_live.days, "left to live")
print("which means you have {:.2f}% left to live...".format(percentage))
```

There are quite a few quirky tricks in the code above.
Take your time to ask me about them, or use online documentation and keep some notes.
