How can I hide the quote marks?

I have to make a maths test in Python for school but instead of a question like 6 + 8?, it comes out like this (6, '+', 8).

Here is my code:

print ('What is your name?')
name = input()
print (' Hello ' + name +', Welcome to the python maths quiz by Tom Luxton, you will be asked 10 maths questions and marked out of 10 at the end, good luck! ')

import random

ops = ['+', '-', '*']
num1 = random.randint(1,12)
num2 = random.randint(1,10)
op = random.choice(ops)
answer = num1, op, num2
print(answer)

You are printing a tuple, answer. Either print the individual elements or turn that tuple into a string first.

Printing the elements of the tuple can be done by passing them to print() using the *args syntax:

print(*answer)

or by not creating a tuple in the first place but by instead passing the arguments to print() separately:

print(num1, op, num2)

You could turn the tuple into a string first by mapping all values to strings and joining them manually with a space:

answer = ' '.join(map(str, answer))

or you could use string formatting with str.format():

answer = '{} {} {}?'.format(num1, op, num2)

which has the added advantage that it is now easy to add that ? question mark you wanted.
