Why can't I concatenate strings and integers?

How can i change this code so I get the needed output? Code : x = float(input("Enter a number - ")) print("\nThe square of the number you have entered is - " + x**2) Output : Enter a number - 14 The square of the number you have entered is - 196.0

If you don't want to convert the answer explicitly to string then, you can use (,) comma instead of (+) plus in between string and integer to get the desired output.

The input is a floating type. Then the output of the final answer is processed in the last statement. ie squaring . And the output is displayed.
