[SOLVED] TypeError: bad operand type for unary +: 'str' python

TypeError: bad operand type for unary +: 'str' python

number=int(input("Please enter a number:     "))

for b in range(1,11):
    b=int(b)
    output=int (number) *int (b)
    print(+str (b) +" times "+ str (number) +" is " +output)

I want the program to ask for a number and then print its times table up to 10*number, however I keep getting this error. BTW, I'm doing GCSE computing.

Solution

I think this is what you're trying to do:

number = int(input("Please enter a number:     "))

for b in range(1,11):
    output = int(number) * b   # b is already an int, you can use it directly in computations
    print(str(b) + " times " + str(number) + " is " + str(output))

Note that +str(b) is incorrect syntax, and also note you cannot concatenate " is", which is a str, with output, which is an int.
