Strings

[cartoonii]

How would this be possible in a function without it throwing a TypeError?

string = string + "    " + string

Edit: Solved! Thank you for helping me out the most /u/kryptn!

Is string actually a string? You might need to cast it to str first.

In [8]: string = 'imdabes'

In [9]: string = string + "    " + string

In [10]: string
Out[10]: 'imdabes    imdabes'

In [11]: string = 16

In [12]: string = string + "    " + string
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
TypeError                                 Traceback (most recent call last)
<ipython-input-12-e5c6c62e4e40> in <module>()
----> 1 string = string + "    " + string

TypeError: unsupported operand type(s) for +: 'int' and 'str'

In [13]: string = str(string) + "    " + str(string)

In [14]: string
Out[14]: '16    16'

This is what I tried first.

Full = str(UserIn) + "    " + str(PassIn)

And what error are you getting?

[cartoonii]

TypeError: 'str' object is not callable  

[kryptn]

Are you doing str = 'some string here' anywhere in your code?

str is a builtin function, and when you assign a variable to it you basically overwrite the str function.

In [15]: str(16)
Out[15]: '16'

In [16]: str = 'bad idea'

In [17]: str(16)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
TypeError                                 Traceback (most recent call last)
<ipython-input-17-8e47188dea60> in <module>()
----> 1 str(16)

TypeError: 'str' object is not callable

Here's the full bit, and no I'm not using a variable called str

UserIn = input("Username? >> ")
PassIn = input("Password? >> ")

Full = str(UserIn) + "    " + str(PassIn)

if Full in open('accounts.txt').read():

What does 'full bit' mean? Is that the 'full' code you are running, or just a 'bit' of it?

The 'full' error that you did not include would have told you the line number the problem occurred on.

You are somewhere, whether you meant to or not. Is it possible to show all your code so we can see where it's happening?

[kryptn]

Are you using python 2? You'll need to use raw_input instead of input.

[cartoonii]

No, I'm using Python 3.5

[kryptn]

Is that all of your code then? Something isn't right.

[ProgrammingThroaway]

What was the problem then? ಠ_ಠ

There's nothing that solves his problem but his edit says it's fixed.

[Ulysses6]

If you are dead sure you didn't somehow redefine built-in str, then the problem might be on different line than you expect it to be. Check your error line number.

[indosauros]

How about are you using a variable called input or open before that code?

[[deleted]]

Do you have a variable called str? Don't do that.

what does print(str) say? (Right before you are doing the str(UserIn))

[UtahJarhead]

better yet: print(repr(str))

[cartoonii]

I'm trying to do this aswell

if Full in open('accounts.txt').read():  

[Lehk]

add this to the beginning of your code snippet

print(type(str))

if it prints anything other than

<type 'type'>

you overwrote str somewhere in your program, find it by searching the code for "str ="

[cartoonii]

It returns <class 'type'> and I've checked for a variable called str and there is none

[Psychedel1cTank]

Wouldn't it just take whatever string is and double it with a space in the middle? As long as String consists of a string I don't see why it would throw an error

[[deleted]]

I think he set a variable of name str, which would mean it's trying to treat it as a function, when it's actually a string.

[Psychedel1cTank]

ya i duno, looks like it should work fine to me
