Python Variable in Output Question - Python

Im trying to output a line of text for example

print 'you have' + number + 'berries'

How do i make this work as its just erroring atm. The number is an int i believe will this make a difference?

Welcome. Yea just remember format strings can be a big help.

also note if you have more than 1 format parameter you need to use a tuple for the values:

print(\"You have %d berries, %s\" % (number, 'derp'))

the original code didn't work because you're using the + operator on different types of data. when used with int, it's mathematic, and with string it just concatenates. both is bad, you could however cast the int to a string:

print 'you have ' + str(number) + ' berries'

string formatting is the way to go though.

Howdy, Stranger!
