Python: What am I doing wrong

Question

I am learning how to code. This is my code:

race = 'Daytona 500' 
print( race , 'is' + type( race )  )

And the error is:

print( race , 'is' + type( race ) )
TypeError: must be str, not type

Please help, what am I doing wrong

Answer 1

you can use as well:

print( race + ' is '+ str(type(race)))

Answer 2

Better to use format here

race = 'Daytona 500' 
print( race + ' is '+'{}'.format(type(race)))

It will print Daytona 500 is <type 'str'>
