It can be helpful to concatenate (join) strings together to print statements containing strings stored in variables. The operation for concatenation is the + symbol (just like addition, but between two strings). 

​

Note that while you can add two numbers (floats or ints) together and you can concatenate two strings together, adding a number to a string will result in an error. 

​

Let's try concatenating different data types together:

1 name = "Katie" # Try with your own name!

2 print("My name is " + name)
