TypeError: can only concatenate str (not 'int') to str

Error message

TypeError: can only concatenate str (not 'int') to str

What broke

The error occurred because you attempted to combine a string and an integer using the '+' operator. In Python, you can only concatenate strings with other strings.

Why it broke

This broke because Python does not automatically convert integers to strings during concatenation. The operation requires both operands to be of the same type.

How to fix

To fix this error, convert the integer to a string using the `str()` function before concatenation. This ensures both operands are strings.

Code fix

result = 'The number is ' + str(number)
