Python Syntax Error with test code

Question

This is my code:

ItemName = input("Enter your item name: ")
PricePerPound = float(input("Enter the Price per pound: "))
ItemWeightPounds = float(input("Enter the weight of the item in pounds: "))
ItemWeightOunces = float(input("Enter the weight of the item in Ounces: "))
UnitPrice = (PricePerPound/16)
TotalPrice = (PricePerPound * ItemWeightPounds + ItemWeightOunces/16)
print("The Unit Price for your " + ItemName + " is: $" + UnitPrice)
print("The Total Price for your " + ItemName + " is: $" + TotalPrice)

Traceback (most recent call last):
print("The Unit Price for your " + ItemName + " is: $" + UnitPrice)
TypeError: Can't convert 'float' object to str implicitly

whenever I run it in python I get the above error, can anyone identify the issues with my code?

Answer 1

You are closing your print -statement too early.

All you want to print has to be between the brackets:

print("The Unit Price for your " + ItemName + " is: $" + str(UnitPrice))
print("The Total Price for your " + ItemName + " is: $" + str(TotalPrice))

You also need to cast your float - and int -objects to string because you can only concatenate ( + ) string -objects.
