# Gigasecond Calculate the moment when someone has lived for 10^9 seconds. A gigasecond is 10^9 (1,000,000,000) seconds. ## Running the tests To run the tests run the command `go test` from within the exercise directory. If the test suite contains benchmarks, you can run these with the `--bench` and `--benchmem` flags: go test -v --bench . --benchmem Keep in mind that each reviewer will run benchmarks on a different machine, with different specs, so the results from these benchmark tests may vary. ## Further information For more detailed information about the Go track, including how to get help if you're having trouble, please visit the exercism.io [Go language page](http://exercism.io/languages/go/resources). ## Source Chapter 9 in Chris Pine's online Learn to Program tutorial.
