I am trying to learn Python and an assignment I am doing has the following prompt. I'm in the third chapter and so far this chapter has gone over strings, lists, tuples, sets, dictionaries, data type and type conversions.

Write a single statement to print: user_word,user_number. Note that there is no space between the comma and user_number.

The inputs I am supposed to test with are Amy and 5

The code is prewritten and below. I am not allowed to edit the first two lines. The corrections/working code must be added afterwards.

    user_word = input()
    user_number = int(input())
    
    ''''Your Solution goes here''''

So far I have added to where Your Solution goes here is

    print((user_word), (user_number))

When I added this and used Amy and 5 as inputs my output is almost identical. But It needs to show as Amy,5 with a comma and no spaces. The problem is , is the only way I know to separate the variables, comma also adds a space by default giving me Amy 5 and this is not the solution I need. [] and curly {} seem to be used for multiple different operations and the context seems to determine how it works. The comma will not show. even when I add it.

   print((user_word), ',', (user_number))

This goes and adds a bunch of spaces also. If I use apostrophe ' it prints the string and not the value of the variables the user typed in. If I remove all the spaces and commas I get errors after the IDLE interpreter runs. Also I can't eve get a . to show up right after the last letter there is always a space.

I also tried to use

   print('{:s}'.format(user_word), '{:d}'.format(user_number))

but again it seems to miss the comma. The "user" the program that my work is ran through is never going to add "Amy,".

You can use an fstring, which is a string that allows you to format it very easily, like this -

print(f"{user_word},{user_number}")

or you can use string concatenation, like this -

print(user_word + "," + user_number)

another way is to set the print separator string to an empty string

print(user_word, ",", user_number, sep='')

Anyways, I suggest you read about f-string and string formatting in general.
