TypeError: can only concatenate str (not “float”) to str

Question

I\'m trying to make a program that compares the density of a certain mass and volume to a list of densities of compounds, and return the type of compound I am analyzing.

Answer 1

You have some options about how to go about this

Using peso = str(peso) and same for volume = str(volume)

peso = float(input("Qual o peso do plastico da sua protese?"))
volume = float(input("Qual o volume do material?"))
peso = str(peso)
volume = str(volume)

def resultados():
  print('O peso do plastico é de ' + peso, end="", flush=True)

resultados()
print(' g e tem um volume de ' + volume + "dm^3")

Or you could just convert them to str when you are performing your print this way you can preserve the values as floats if you want to do more calculations and not have to convert them back and forth over and over

peso = float(input("Qual o peso do plastico da sua protese?"))
volume = float(input("Qual o volume do material?"))

def resultados():
  print('O peso do plastico é de ' + str(peso), end="", flush=True)

resultados()
print(' g e tem um volume de ' + str(volume) + "dm^3")

Answer 2

You have to assign the cast to the variable. Onlystr(peso) doesn't modify it. Because str() returns a str type. So, you need to do that:

peso = str(peso)

Answer 3

Use formatted string

str_val = "Hello"
int_val = 1234
msg = f'String and integer concatenation : {str_val} {int_val}'

Output

String and integer concatenation : Hello 1234
