Need help with a code.

Question

I'm trying to add the variable to the same line as the quote in the line above it, but just putting the + then the sum afterwards gives me an error. The one below works but I have to go to the next line and put
print (sum)

Instead of just
Print ("quote " + sum)

Which I figured would work.
Anyone know what I'm doing wrong? If you need me to replicate the version that's giving me the error just let me know. The one below is the altered version that works but it makes me put the variable "sum" on a separate line.

Answer 1

If you don't use '+', you don't need to convert c to a string. The print() function puts a space between items separated by commas, so e.g. print(3, 4, 5) outputs 3 4 5, so the last line of your code could be be
print("The sum of these numbers is", c)

Btw spaces around commas in the print() function are ignored, so print(1,2) outputs the same as print(1 , 2) and print(1, 2). The last format is considered better Python coding style. 🙂

Answer 2

It is not recommendable to use functions (e.g., sum) as variable names as it can mess up with your code.

c = int(a) + int(b)
print("The sum of these numbers is " + str(c))

Answer 3

The problem wasn't that "sum" was a function, but that you were trying to concatenate a string with an integer.

The "don't use 'sum' as a variable name" part was more of a recommendation.

Answer 4

Thanks! I hadn't made the connection that sum was a function. It worked! :D

Answer 5

Oh so I had to tell it to change the integer to display it as a string basically?
