You're so close. Python doesn't let you directly combine strings and
numbers like that, especially without any operator. However it does
offer several ways to combine strings:
print "convert to string and use " + str(number) + " a '+' operator"
print "use %s classic C-style formatting" % number
print "use new {} formatting style".format(number)
