try `print(user_word +","+user_number)` instead – Derek O May 11 '23 at 02:35 — Derek O, May 11 '23 at 02:35
This is because the default "sep" of print is ' ', – 911 May 11 '23 at 02:36 — 911, May 11 '23 at 02:36

By default print() function has a separator " ". That means print('abcd', 'xyz') will actually print 'abcd xyz'. Here we can manually set the separator by mentioning the 'sep' parameter in print() function.

For examples,

INPUT : print('abcd', 'xyz', sep='-')
OUTPUT: abcd-xyz

INPUT : print('abcd', 'pqrs', 'xyz', sep=',')
OUTPUT: abcd-pqrs-xyz

INPUT : print('abcd', 'xyz, sep='*')
OUTPUT: abcd,xyz

INPUT : print('abcd', 'xyz', sep='')
OUTPUT: abcdxyz

INPUT : print('abcd', 'pqrs', 'xyz', sep='')
OUTPUT: abcdpqrsxyz

In your case you should write print(user_word +",",user_number, sep='')

Your output is sometimes incorrect. – Mark Tolonen May 11 '23 at 02:52 — Mark Tolonen, May 11 '23 at 02:52
