Changing a integer into a string Python 3

Question

I am trying to write out a program that tells how much damage someone causes to an object and i want to also print out how much damage it delt, but even after looking what I found doesn't seem to work. Here is the code

damage = random.randint(1,3)
print ("You delt %"+damage+"% damage")

If any one knows why it isn't working I would be very thankful.

@cryce, you cannot add a string and an int, use `print("You delt {}% damage".format(damage))` — Padraic Cunningham, Feb 20 '16 at 23:34
Fixed that for you. Please always include the full error message. "Something does not work" is not helpful. Although in this case, it is obvious that you'll have to use `str(damage)` in your call to `print`. — timgeb, Feb 20 '16 at 23:35

print ("You delt %" + str(damage) + "% damage")
You delt %1% damage

better way:

print ("You delt %{}% damage".format(damage))

What's with the `%`? – e0k Feb 20 '16 at 23:37
Ah, thank you, it works perfectly now – cryce Feb 20 '16 at 23:38
I had found another supposed way to print integers as strings but it seems I misunderstood – cryce Feb 20 '16 at 23:38
@e0k, just using the question's text. – Wanming Zhang Feb 20 '16 at 23:39
@cryce, you means `print ("You delt %d damage" % damage)` ? – Wanming Zhang Feb 20 '16 at 23:42
