TypeError: Can't convert 'int' object to str implicitly

Question

I am trying to write a text game and I have run into an error in the function I am defining that lets you basically spend your skill points after you make your character. At first, the error stated that I was attempting to subtract a string from an integer in this part of the code:`balance - strength`. Obviously that was wrong so I fixed it with `strength = int(strength)`... but now I am getting this error which I have never seen before(new programmer) and I am stumped on what exactly it is trying to tell me and how I fix it. Here is my code for the part of the function that isn't working: ``` def attributeSelection(): balance = 25 print("Your SP balance is currently 25.") strength = input("How much SP do you want to put into strength?") strength = int(strength) balanceAfterStrength = balance - strength if balanceAfterStrength == 0: print("Your SP balance is now 0.") attributeConfirmation() elif strength < 0: print("That is an invalid input. Restarting attribute selection. Keep an eye…

Accepted Answer

You cannot concatenate a `string` with an `int`. You would need to convert your `int` to a `string` using the `str` function, or use `formatting` to format your output.

Change: -

```
print("Ok. Your balance is now at " + balanceAfterStrength + " skill points.")
```

to: -

```
print("Ok. Your balance is now at {} skill points.".format(balanceAfterStrength))
```

or: -

```
print("Ok. Your balance is now at " + str(balanceAfterStrength) + " skill points.")
```

or as per the comment, use `,` to pass different strings to your `print` function, rather than concatenating using `+`: -

```
print("Ok. Your balance is now at ", balanceAfterStrength, " skill points.")
```
