There are two ways to fix the problem which is caused by the last print statement.
You can assign the result of the str(c) call to c as correctly shown by @jamylak and then concatenate all of the strings, or you can replace the last print simply with this:
print “a + b as integers: “, c # note the comma here
in which case
str(c)
isn’t necessary and can be deleted.
Output of sample run:
Enter a: 3
Enter b: 7
a + b as strings: 37
a + b as integers: 10
with:
a = raw_input(“Enter a: “)
b = raw_input(“Enter b: “)
print “a + b as strings: ” + a + b # + everywhere is ok since all are strings
a = int(a)
b = int(b)
c = a + b
print “a + b as integers: “, c
str(c) returns a new string representation of c, and does not mutate c itself.
c = str(c)
is probably what you are looking for
