The Python print
statement is often used to output variables.
To combine both text and a variable, Python uses the +
character:
Example
x = “awesome”
print(“Python is ” + x)
Output:
Python is awesome
You can also use the +
character to add a variable to another variable:
Example
x = “Python is “
y = “awesome”
z = x + y
print(z)
Output:
Python is awesome
For numbers, the +
character works as a mathematical operator:
Example
x = 5
y = 10
print(x + y)
Output:
15
If you try to combine a string and a number, Python will give you an error:
Example
x = 5
y = “John”
print(x + y)
TypeError: unsupported operand type(s) for +: ‘int’ and ‘str’
