TypeError: Can't convert 'int' object to str implicitly

PythonStringIntImplicit

Python Problem Overview


I am trying to write a text game and I have run into an error in the function I am defining that lets you basically spend your skill points after you make your character. At first, the error stated that I was attempting to subtract a string from an integer in this part of the code:balance - strength. Obviously that was wrong so I fixed it with strength = int(strength)... but now I am getting this error which I have never seen before(new programmer) and I am stumped on what exactly it is trying to tell me and how I fix it.

Here is my code for the part of the function that isn't working:

def attributeSelection():
    balance = 25
    print("Your SP balance is currently 25.")
    strength = input("How much SP do you want to put into strength?")
    strength = int(strength)
    balanceAfterStrength = balance - strength
    if balanceAfterStrength == 0:
        print("Your SP balance is now 0.")
        attributeConfirmation()
    elif strength < 0:
        print("That is an invalid input. Restarting attribute selection. Keep an eye on your balance this time!")
        attributeSelection()
    elif strength > balance:
        print("That is an invalid input. Restarting attribute selection. Keep an eye on your balance this time!")
        attributeSelection()
    elif balanceAfterStrength > 0 and balanceAfterStrength < 26:
        print("Ok. You're balance is now at " + balanceAfterStrength + " skill points.")
    else:
        print("That is an invalid input. Restarting attribute selection.")
        attributeSelection()

And here is the error I get when I get to this part of the code in the shell:

    Your SP balance is currently 25.
How much SP do you want to put into strength?5

    attributeSelection()
  File "C:\Python32\APOCALYPSE GAME LIBRARY\apocalypseGame.py", line 143, in attributeSelection
    print("Ok. You're balance is now at " + balanceAfterStrength + " skill points.")
TypeError: Can't convert 'int' object to str implicitly

Does anyone know how to solve this? Thanks ahead.

Solution 1 - Python

You cannot concatenate a string with an int. You would need to convert your int to a string using the str function, or use formatting to format your output.

Change: -

print("Ok. Your balance is now at " + balanceAfterStrength + " skill points.")

to: -

print("Ok. Your balance is now at {} skill points.".format(balanceAfterStrength))

or: -

print("Ok. Your balance is now at " + str(balanceAfterStrength) + " skill points.")

or as per the comment, use , to pass different strings to your print function, rather than concatenating using +: -

print("Ok. Your balance is now at ", balanceAfterStrength, " skill points.")

Solution 2 - Python

def attributeSelection():
balance = 25
print("Your SP balance is currently 25.")
strength = input("How much SP do you want to put into strength?")
balanceAfterStrength = balance - int(strength)
if balanceAfterStrength == 0:
    print("Your SP balance is now 0.")
    attributeConfirmation()
elif strength < 0:
    print("That is an invalid input. Restarting attribute selection. Keep an eye on your balance this time!")
    attributeSelection()
elif strength > balance:
    print("That is an invalid input. Restarting attribute selection. Keep an eye on your balance this time!")
    attributeSelection()
elif balanceAfterStrength > 0 and balanceAfterStrength < 26:
    print("Ok. You're balance is now at " + str(balanceAfterStrength) + " skill points.")
else:
    print("That is an invalid input. Restarting attribute selection.")
    attributeSelection()
