Python String question.

Question

Question is:

x = 9
y = "2"
print (str(x)+y)

Solution: 92

-A string must be surrounded by either single or double quotes? So shouldn't the answer just be "2"?

Answer 1

print(str(x) + y)

str(x) turns x into a string, so it becomes '9'. Now, since both str(x) and y are strings, the '+' is interpreted as the string concatenation operation. '9' + '2' = '92', which is the output (when printing just a string the quotes are omitted).

Hope that helps. 😊
