Answer 1

How can i use integer and string together? Why can i not set to string than integer?

Well, string formatting is a pretty useful thing:

>>> a_string = "Hi, I'm a string and I'm"
>>> an_integer = 42
>>> another_string = "milliseconds old"
>>> we_are_the_champions = "%s %d %s" % (a_string, an_integer, another_string)
>>> we_are_the_champions
"Hi, I'm a string and I'm 42 milliseconds old"

You even can just throw that integer into string:

>>> champions_are_here = "Hi, I'm a string and I'm even older, I'm %d milliseconds old" % 63
>>> champions_are_here
"Hi, I'm a string and I'm even older, I'm 63 milliseconds old"
