Multiple variables??

Question

X = 5
Y = X+3
Y = int(str(y)+”2”)
Print(y)
Output: 82
Had to get a hint for the answer on this, can understand from the answer how the output has come to 82 but can’t figure out why str(y) has multiplied 8 by 10?

Answer 1

Jordan The value of variable Y is 8, which you typecasted in the same variable and then added 2 to 8 which is now a string and as Angelo said strings are concatenated not added, so: '8'+'2' = 82

Answer 2

Where does the 7 come from?
Btw remember that
"ab" + "cd" == "abcd"
So "8" + "2" == "82"

Answer 3

It's not 8, it's "8"

Answer 4

i meant to type 8 my bad

Answer 5

sorry trying to message you i think youve sorted it for me, is str(y) just 8 then?

Answer 6

One tip: No two variables should be same in a program
