How can I concatenate a variable with another string variable in Selenium?

Question

How can I concatenate a variable with another string variable in Selenium? For example, Date0,Date1,Date2..etc are variables and have the actual time and date.
Here is the code:

dar = time.localtime(time.time())
das = time.localtime(time.time() + 86400)
Date0 = time.strftime("%Y-%m-%d",dar)
Date1 = time.strftime("%Y-%m-%d",das)

The problem in Selenium I'm facing while executing the Python script

for i in range(5):
        for j in range(4,7):
            if (str(i) == '0' or str(i) == '1' or str(i) == '2' or str(i) == '3' or str(i) == '4')and(str(j) == '4' or str(j) == '5' or str(j) == '6'):
                hrs_fill = driver.find_element_by_xpath("//*[@id='"+ Date+str(i) +"_50"+ str(j) +"_166003-5_hrs']")
                hrs_fill.send_keys('3')
                break

Getting the error:

NameError: name 'Date' is not defined

It's considering Date as separate variable and str(i) as separate variable not as combined

try str(Date+str(i))

Use a dict

Ex:

import time
dar = time.localtime(time.time())
das = time.localtime(time.time() + 86400)
date = {"Date0": time.strftime("%Y-%m-%d",dar), "Date1": time.strftime("%Y-%m-%d",das)}
print(date["Date"+str(0)])

date = {"Date0": time.strftime("%Y-%m-%d",dar), "Date1": time.strftime("%Y-%m-%d",das)}
hrs_fill = driver.find_element_by_xpath("//*[@id='"+ date["Date"+str(i)] +"_50"+ str(j) +"_166003-5_hrs']")

Problem is in xpath for identifying both the variable as separate variables rather than combined variable

Use the operator + if you're dealing with strings like

String myString1 = "Hey Dude..." + "How are you?";

You create variables called Date0 and Date1, but you called only 'Date' on the code. Try:

"//*[@id='"+ Date0+str(i) +"_50"+ str(j) +"_166003-5_hrs']"

or

"//*[@id='"+ Date1+str(i) +"_50"+ str(j) +"_166003-5_hrs']"
