How can I print variable and string on same line in Python?

Question

I am using python to work out how many children would be born in 5 years if a child was born every 7 seconds. The problem is on my last line. How do I get a variable to work

Answer 1

You can use string formatting to do this:

print "If there was a birth every 7 seconds, there would be: %d births" % births

or you can give print multiple arguments, and it will automatically separate them by a space:

print "If there was a birth every 7 seconds, there would be:", births, "births"
