Concatenating two strings

Question

I am trying to concatenate two strings, the problem i'm running into is that when I concatenate, the text goes to the next line. I am using selenium import webdriver. My code is:

randomNum = ""
tries = 0

while (tries < 5):
    randomNum += str(random.randint(0, 9))
    tries = tries + 1

input = driver.find_element_by_id('identifierId')
email = name + randomNum
input.send_keys(email)
print email

I have also tried

randomNum = []
tries = 0

while (tries < 5):
    randomNum.append(random.randint(0, 9))
    tries = tries + 1

input = driver.find_element_by_id('identifierId')
email = name + "".join(str(num) for num in randomNum)
input.send_keys(email)
print email

But when I print email my output is something like

Indoana 16029

I don't know why this is, I need it to be Indoana16029

next line, when it enters the email into the site it just enters the name and then seems like it presses enter because the email setup moves on to the next thing. — Cory Sparks, Nov 30 '17 at 01:28

your name variable might be contaminated with a new line

have you tried something like this: How can I remove (chomp) a newline in Python?

This worked. Thank you! I just changed `email = name + randomNum` to `email = name.rstrip() + randomNum.rstrip()`. – Cory Sparks Nov 30 '17 at 01:36
You shouldn't need to strip `randomNum`. – JeffC Nov 30 '17 at 03:56
