在我的代码中获取无法将int转换为str错误无法弄清原因

Question

My code is supposed to take a pin number and change it into an "easy to remember" arrangement of vowels and consonants

def alphapinEncode(pin):
    vowels = "aeiou "
    consonants = "bcdfghjklmnpqrstvwyz "
    alphaPin = " "
    while pin > 0:
        newPin = pin // 100
        pinRemain = pin % 100
        vowelToFind = pinRemain % 5
        pinVowel = vowels.find(vowelToFind)
        pinConsonant = consonants.find(pinRemain // 5)
        pin = newPin
        alphaPin = alphaPin + pinVowel + pinConsonant

    return alphaPin

Any help is appreciated, thanks!

Answer 1

I believe your issue is with these 2 lines:

vowelToFind = pinRemain % 5
pinVowel = vowels.find(vowelToFind)

In this case vowelToFind is an integer, and vowels is a string. The find method of str accepts a string argument, and returns its position in the string - you are passing an integer instead. You aren't even looking to find a substring within vowels , you are simply looking to retrieve the character at index vowelToFind . I believe you ought to do the following instead:

vowelToFind = pinRemain % 5
pinVowel = vowels[vowelToFind]

Note

I'm solving the specific "int to str" error that you asked about. I'm not sure about the rest of the logic you're using to generate an "easy-to-remember" character sequence.
