Need help writing a program to tell time in terms of seconds

Im not 100% on how to get this program to initialize.
I just dont know what to add to get this thing to run,
it probably a formatting error on my part, but i dont know where to look.
Any help would be appreciated,
thanks in advance!

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main(){
	int amount;	
	int seconds;	// will hold whole amount of seconds since time of epoch.
	int years, months, days, hours, minutes, seconds
	
	cout << "Enter amount to change (e.g. 6.71): ";
	cin >> amount;

	Years = int(31104000 seconds)
	
	Months = int(2592000 seconds)

	Days = int(86400 seconds)

	Hours = int(3600 seconds)

	Minutes = int(60 seconds)

	Seconds = int(1 seconds)

	cout << "Time since time of epoch" << amount << " is:" << endl
		 << "Years x " << Years << endl
		 << "Months x " << Months << endl
		 << "Days x " << Days << endl
		 << "Hours x " << Hours << endl
		 << "Minutes x " << Minutes << endl
		 << "Seconds  x " << Seconds << endl;

	return 0;

	cin<< amount;
}	
You need to take the time to read through a few basic tutorials.

C++ is case-sensitive.

  // Declare/create a variable
  int age;

  // Assign a value to it
  age = 27;

It also seems you need to think about what exactly your assignment is, and consider some math.

Also, line 35 is meaningless, since after you return from the function, nothing else happens in that function.

Hope this helps.
