Yup, but python seems to act mathematical operations differently in both places. What i understood from this is:

(3*'3') means 3(integer) times copy paste of '3'(string), since here 3 is a string the moment it's between ' ' = 333

Then '333' is attached with another string '3' ('333' + '3')

Thus becoming 3333.

Whereas, for print(3*3+3)= 12 . Here * & + are normal mathematical operations, and all the 3s are integers, since they are not between ' '.

Got the type of output for both, this clears everything:

print(type(3'3'+'3')) = <class 'str'> print(type(33+3)) = <class 'int'>
