There are not always 31 days in a month. There are 356 days in a year. Here's the version with the correct answer

Print "How many seconds are in one year?" : Print " " : print "60 seconds * 60 minutes * 24 hours * 356 days  = Seconds in a year" : Print " " : Year=(60*60)*(24*356) : print year; : wait key

Actually there are 365.242375 days in a year. Thats basically why we add a day to each 4'th Feb. unless the year is evenly divisible by 100 unless its also evenly divisible by 400

so its

60 * 60 * 24 * 365.242375

Only if you are defining the word 'year' as how long it takes for the Earth to orbit the sun. Most people define the word 'year' as a calendar year, which is of course 365 or 366 days, otherwise we'd all be getting very confused with when exactly new year's day started! As for the number of seconds in a year, the answer is quite obvious. 12.

(Second of January, second of February, second of March, .....)
