How do I input a name from another input into a different input.

Question

the program I have so far

CLASS = str(input("What is the name of your class: "))

HOURS = int(input("How many hours a week do you spend in", CLASS))

Line 1 works, but lien two crashes it. I'm new to python.I've googled and looked through my notes and I can't figure it out. Any help is appreciated.

Answer 1

The problem here is the way you are trying to combine the strings. The "How many hours" string and the CLASS string are separated by a comma, so input thinks you are giving it two separate strings, which is not allowed. Input only takes in one string.

Using a comma to combine two strings only "works" within a print statement. And actually doesn't combine the strings, it just displays them to you combined.

If you want to combine two strings, the simplest way is with a + sign.

int(input("How many hours a week do you spend in " + CLASS + ": "))

You could also use a format. something like:

int(input("How many hours a week do you spend in {}: ".format(CLASS))

The + sign is easier for me to understand, but the format has more features so you might want to get used to using it. Both are correct though.
