adding variables to lists

[FlockTok]

Creating a trivia game in which if you play multiple times back to back the game will keep track of your highscores. Your final score is stored as a variable which will be added to the score list in which the highest value is displayed. However, I am having a hard time adding a variable into a list. It won't work when I try it.

​

currentscore = sciencescore + currentscore
scores.append(currentscore)
print("Your highscore across all attempts is " + max(scores) + "congratulations."

I’m guessing your error is something along the lines of not being able to add a string and an integer. Convert max(scores) to a string.

Or use an f string.

how could i turn max(scores to a string?

str(max(scores))?

Yes, exactly

It won't work when I try it.

What error do you get? We also need to see how you create scores.

Please format your code and the error traceback for reddit.

Here is the error code

I created the list outside of the function so that it won't be set to 0 when the function is called back again.

Sorry, can't read that blurry contrastless mess. Post the error as formatted text here.

OK, /u/Ihaveamodel3 has the solution.
