This is a list of some common errors you may encounter when using strings:
Note: “SyntaxError” is like a grammar error in English. Most of them involve a typo in the code rather than an error in logic.
  • In this error, the first double quote doesn’t match the second single quote in the print command
  • You can use either double or single quotes, but you must keep it consistent throughout your code
  • Fix: print(“hello world”) or print(‘hello world’)
  • You can’t convert strings to ints, so this error will come up if you try to
  • This doesn't give you an error, but remember that you need to add a space when you’re concatenating strings. This is important when you are printing words.
  • If you’re trying to print an int variable with strings, you need to convert the int to a string in the print function
  • dogs needs to be converted into a string in this example
  • Fix:
    • str(dogs) will convert the integer variable dogs into a string variable. Then, it can print without any errors.
    • Don't forget to add spaces!!
