How do I put a variable inside a string?

Question

I would like to put an int into a string. This is what I am doing at the moment:

num = 40
plot.savefig(\'hanning40.pdf\') #problem          


        

Answer 1

Not sure exactly what all the code you posted does, but to answer the question posed in the title, you can use + as the normal string concat function as well as str().

"hello " + str(10) + " world" = "hello 10 world"

Hope that helps!

In general, you can create strings using:

stringExample = "someString " + str(someNumber)
print(stringExample)
plot.savefig(stringExample)
