Question

I have the below code

Test1 =  Price[Product.index(TestABC)]+   AddQTYPriceA

print Test1
print "try this test" + Test1

When it needs to print Test 1 it gives the correct answer. I want to try and add text to the front of it and so I have entered print “try this test” + Test1

For the second print command it gives the following error.

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Python26\data.py", line 78, in <module>
    print "try this test" + Test1
TypeError: cannot concatenate 'str' and 'float' objects

Can someone assist how I can get text to appear at the front.

Answer 1

In order to concatenate the string and float you need to cast the float as a string using the str() function.

print "try this test " + str(Test1)

Or you could use the .format() string method:

print "try this test {0}".format(Test1)

Both of these methods are documented on the python string built-in type page.
