[Tutor] How do I display a changing thing in text?

[Hugo González Monteverde]

The interactive intepreter is you friend. Of course I'm using actual 
numbers instead of variables for the examples. Let's see

IDLE 1.0.3
 >>> "Computer = %1.0d Player = %1.0d" (1,2)

Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "<pyshell#0>", line 1, in -toplevel-
     "Computer = %1.0d Player = %1.0d" (1,2)
TypeError: 'str' object is not callable

HMMMM what is the problem?


 >>> "Computer = %1.0d Player = %1.0d"%(1,2)
'Computer = 1 Player = 2'
 >>>


Here you go. You were missing the % sign after the string, with in this 
case is the operator...
