[Tutor] Help with converting a string into a integer

[Carmen Salcedo]

Hi,

I'm using python 2.7. I'm editing the program with idle. I use windows 8.

I finally got the string to convert to integers, however I can't figure out how to print them in this phone number format 555-5678.

The numbers are printing out this way.
5
5
5
5
6

Thank you very much. :)
