Space Age
Welcome to Space Age on Exercism's Rust Track.
If you need help running the tests or submitting your code, check out HELP.md.
Instructions
Given an age in seconds, calculate how old someone would be on:
- Mercury: orbital period 0.2408467 Earth years
- Venus: orbital period 0.61519726 Earth years
- Earth: orbital period 1.0 Earth years, 365.25 Earth days, or 31557600 seconds
- Mars: orbital period 1.8808158 Earth years
- Jupiter: orbital period 11.862615 Earth years
- Saturn: orbital period 29.447498 Earth years
- Uranus: orbital period 84.016846 Earth years
- Neptune: orbital period 164.79132 Earth years
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.

Some Rust topics you may want to read about while solving this problem:
-
Traits, both the From trait and implementing your own traits
-
Default method implementations for traits
-
Macros, the use of a macro could reduce boilerplate and increase readability for this exercise. For instance, a macro can implement a trait for multiple types at once, though it is fine to implement
years_duringin the Planet trait itself. A macro could define both the structs and their implementations. Info to get started with macros can be found at:
