(using DJGPP on a Win95 Box)

Can't decide which variable to use with which scanf code.

I want to be able to have more than 10 digits print out (if the age were
10,000 years for example).
I am new to C (and programming in general) and teaching myself, so any
criticism will be appreciated.

Also can someone direct me to the FAQ(so that I can RTFM)?
Thanx.
Below is my code.

#include <stdio.h>

int main()
{
int daysper, daystotal, secondsperday, years;
long long totalseconds;

daysper = 365;
secondsperday = 86400;

printf("My second handmade program!\n\nTo tell you the number of seconds
(estimate) you have lived.\n\n");
printf("Enter your age in years: ");
scanf("%d", &years);
daystotal=(daysper * years);
printf("Total days = %d\n\n", daystotal);

totalseconds=(daystotal * secondsperday);
printf("The total number of seconds is: %i\n",totalseconds);

   return 0;
}
