Problems with printing score of test - JoeLamond - Nov-11-2016

Hello,

I have been writing a logic test in my program. When the person answers a question correctly the score goes up by 1 point. At the end I want to print the score but I have been experiencing some problems.

When I try this:

print(score + "/3")

It does not work.

Error:Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/Users/joelamond/Documents/Logic Test.py", line 24, in <module>
    print(score + "/3")
TypeError: unsupported operand type(s) for +: 'int' and 'str'

When I try this:

print(score,"/3")

It prints but with a space between the number and the slash.

Output:
0 /3

I would like it prints like this:

Output:
0/3

How can I do that?

Thankyou,

You need score to be interpreted as a string. The easy way to do that is

print(str(score) + "/3")

but typically you'll want formatting

print("{}/3".format(score))
