It's because you cannot multiply strings. You have to do it like this: "17" * 87

When ever you put text between a quote pair " " or ' ', you have declared a string, a text object. '17' and '87' are actually strings, and don't share same behavior than 17 and 87, which would be integers. Because there is no defined behavior for string * string, Python assumes it to be safest to just raise an error and terminate the program.

Because you can't multiply a string by another string in python. Can you imagine to multiple a text by another text yourself? 😵 If you want to get numeric answer you should use 17* 87 instead of "17"*"87"

You can't multiply string with a number e.g print ( " 43" * 3), error message will appear. So try : print( 46* 56) ( this figures are just for example)
