Method not regocnized

[Lass86]

Hello Everyone,

I started learning Python not too long ago, but unfortunatley I ran into some trouble with using a String Method.

This is my code:

1 2 3 4 5

famous_person = 'bruce lee' message ='famous_person.title()' +  'once said,' + '"the more we value things, the less we value ourselves."' print(message)

Error:
famous_person.title() once said, "the more we value things, the less we value ourselves."'

famous_person.title() doesn't change to the value I gave it. (bruce lee.) What am I doing wrong?

Greetings Indra

Your string method is within the quotes making it apart of the string instead of a string method

This fixes your problem, however you shouldn't use concatenation. Its so unpythonic.

1	message ='{}'.format(famous_person.title()) +  'once said,' + '"the more we value things, the less we value ourselves."'

such as:

1	message ='{} once said, "the more we value things, the less we value ourselves."'.format(famous_person.title())

If using 3.6 <= Python then you can consider f-strings as well:

1 2 3 4

>>> famous_person = 'bruce lee'                                            >>> message = f'{famous_person.title()} once said, "the more we value things, the less we value ourselves."'                                      >>> print(message)                                                         Bruce Lee once said, "the more we value things, the less we value ourselves."

Thank you for all your solutions.
About the concatention, this was kind of the point. I was learning about concatention, but they did mention that it's not too Python-like.

Thanks for your help!
