Changing a integer into a string Python 3 [duplicate]

Question

I am trying to write out a program that tells how much damage someone causes to an object and i want to also print out how much damage it delt, but even after looking what I found doesn't seem to work. Here is the code

damage = random.randint(1,3)
print ("You delt %"+damage+"% damage")

If any one knows why it isn't working I would be very thankful.

@cryce, you cannot add a string and an int, use print("You delt {}% damage".format(damage)) — Padraic Cunningham

Fixed that for you. Please always include the full error message. "Something does not work" is not helpful. Although in this case, it is obvious that you'll have to use str(damage) in your call to print. — timgeb

print ("You delt %" + str(damage) + "% damage")
You delt %1% damage

better way:

print ("You delt %{}% damage".format(damage))

Ah, thank you, it works perfectly now

I had found another supposed way to print integers as strings but it seems I misunderstood

@e0k, just using the question's text.

@cryce, you means print ("You delt %d damage" % damage) ?
