name = 'James' age = 34 print("name is age years old")

You should write variable name outside the inverted comma's

Okkay, so what you were doing wrong is --> Basically python think a bunch or letter/number/anything in the Quotation marks (") as Strings (str). Now, if you print a str or string, the whole string will be printed. On the other hand, variables do not have the Quotation marks. So, in a print, if you want to refer to a variable, you must use its name outside the Quotation marks. And to separate the strings and variables, commas (,) are used. Hope you got the point and Best of Luck <3

do this code --> name = 'James' age = 34 print(name, " is ", age, " years old.") --------------------------------------- You may also do this --> print("{name} is {age} years old".format(name = "Jamse", age = 34)) --------------------------------------- Also --> name = "James" age = 34 print(f"{name} is {age} years old.") ----------------------------------- Btw, the first one is better for you, I guess...

Try this: print(name , " is ", age , " years old") As you write it now, you are printing the string "name is age years old" and you are not actually using the variables created by you(name and age)

If u do it with c++ : cout << name << "is " << age << "years old\n"; C : printf("%s is %d years old\n", name, age); Python : print(name, "is", age, "years old") This may help you ☺️

Because age and name both are in String it should be like this print(name + " is " + age + "year old");
