yes, you are right. str(5) makes your number 5 as string 5 it's called type conversion

in certain cases you need to convert your number as string. for example: favnum=int(input("enter your fav number:") print('my favorite number is "+str(favnum)) here we are getting user input as integer and storing it to a variable. now if we normally concatinate the variable with + it will throw error (since the type is int) so, we need to convert this type to str to concatinate It's just a simple example. however print("my fav number is", favnum) would work without error anyhow type conversion is necessary for some complex programs hope u got it...

type conversion actually pretty important to inform user if you use print() because : x = 2 y = 3 + 2 print(x + y) print(str(x)+str(y)) that will result: 7 23 + 2 if you print string + interger it would be an error there.
