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.randrange(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?
Hi,
you call str(rannum) but don't store it. Try it like this:
>>> import random
>>> word = "dog"
>>> rannum = random.randrange(100,999)
>>> str(rannum)
'773'
>>> type(rannum)
<type 'int'>
>>> rannum = str(rannum)
>>> new_word = word + rannum
>>> print new_word
dog773
or,
>>> rannum = str(random.randrange(100,999))
>>> word + rannum
'dog287'
>>>
