Hi @chickabello,

Aren’t you seeing this error in the console?

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "main.py", line 11, in <module>
TypeError: can only concatenate str (not "float") to str

You can do the print() two ways:

print("my string:", myvariable)

or

print(f"my string: {myvariable}")

Happy coding!
