Beginner Question - Very Easy I'm Sure...

[Todd_Calhoun]

I'm trying to generate a random number, and then concetate it to a word to
create a password.

I get the number and assign it to a variable:

+++++++++++++++ ++++++++++++++
word = "dog"

import random
rannum = random.randrang e(100,999)

str(rannum)

word + rannum
+++++++++++++++ ++++++++++++++

But when I try to concetate the two, I get an error saying:

+++++++++++++++ +++++++++++++
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<pyshell#0 >", line 1, in -toplevel-
list[1] + rannum
TypeError: unsubscriptable object
+++++++++++++++ +++++++++++++

Any suggestions?

str() returns a string, it doesn't change rannum which is still a number...

try ->
rannum = str(rannum)

Hi,

you call str(rannum) but don't store it. Try it like this:
[color=blue][color=green][color=darkred]
>>> import random
>>> word = "dog"
>>> rannum = random.randrang e(100,999)
>>> str(rannum)[/color][/color][/color]
'773'[color=blue][color=green][color=darkred]
>>> type(rannum)[/color][/color][/color]
<type 'int'>[color=blue][color=green][color=darkred]
>>> rannum = str(rannum)
>>> new_word = word + rannum
>>> print new_word[/color][/color][/color]
dog773

or,
[color=blue][color=green][color=darkred]
>>> rannum = str(random.rand range(100,999))
>>> word + rannum[/color][/color][/color]
'dog287'[color=blue][color=green][color=darkred]
>>>[/color][/color][/color]

HTH,

Thanks for the tip. I knew it was something easy like that.
