str object not callable when converting int variable to using str function

Question

I'm sorry if this was asked already I have been sifting through past questions and cannot seem to find an answer. I am fairly new at python too. What I am trying to do is write the word and r and c variable to an output file but formatted with a space between the word and variable (the format being the longest word of list - word I am looking at). I have tried this, yet it comes up with a "str object not callable" ``` row_variable = str(r) ``` Here is the traceback when i tried it: ``` Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:\CS303E\WordSearch.py", line 106, in <module> main () File "C:\CS303E\WordSearch.py", line 84, in main output.write(list_of_words[i]+spaces+str(row_variable)+str(column_variable)) TypeError: 'str' object is not callable ``` Here is my code: ``` # Find longest word in list of words max_length = 0 for i in list_of_words: if len(i) > max_length: max_length = len(i) # Open output file found.txt output = open('found.txt','w') # Check for list of words for i in range…

Accepted Answer

Somewhere in your code (not in the part you have posted here) you have used the name `str` for a string. `str` is now that string, and not the built-in string type. You are attempting to call the string as though it were a function or type and Python is calling you out on it.

To avoid this problem, don't name your string `str`.
