I have written the following script:
string="My name"
age=19
print(string +str(age))
But this gives an error stating:
"str object is not callable".
Help me to typecast and print.

Are you sure that's your exact code? Because that should do exactly what you want. – glibdud Mar 29 '17 at 18:46

5you've assigned to `str` someplace. do `del str` first and try again. – Dimitris Fasarakis Hilliard Mar 29 '17 at 18:46

@ayhan please dup it as this one: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/30591182/how-to-fix-redefinition-of-str?noredirect=1&lq=1, I can't since I already voted to close as typo. – Dimitris Fasarakis Hilliard Mar 29 '17 at 19:04

1@JimFasarakisHilliard Yes, this is much better. – ayhan Mar 29 '17 at 19:23

Like mentioned in the comments, it looks like you have re-assigned the built in function str to something else. Find and remove that, and your code should work.
It's also worth noting that in python3 the print() function will attempt to cast your arguments to strings if you separate them with a ,. As seen here:
print(string, age)
Will cast age to a string for you.

Try formatting strings:
print( f'{string} {age}' )

That's a format I've never seen before, and I don't see it described in your link. – glibdud Mar 29 '17 at 18:50

I don't think it's the best idea to suggest format strings, new in Python 3.6, to a new user that is most likely not using the most recent release of Python. – Dimitris Fasarakis Hilliard Mar 29 '17 at 18:52

We always can suggest new user to install python 2.7, and use old version first. But you have a point! – Oleg Butuzov Mar 29 '17 at 18:54

String.format can help here.
print ("{0} {1}".format(string, age) )
this results is the following being printed.
My name 19
You can use this method to improve the readability of the output as well.
print ("Name: {0} age: {1}".format(string, age)
This would result in the following output.
Name: My Name age: 19
