How can I concatenate a variable with another string variable in Selenium?

How can I concatenate a variable with another string variable in Selenium? For example, Date0,Date1,Date2..etc are variables and have the actual time and date.
Here is the code:

dar = time.localtime(time.time())
das = time.localtime(time.time() + 86400)
Date0 = time.strftime("%Y-%m-%d",dar)
Date1 = time.strftime("%Y-%m-%d",das)

The problem in Selenium I'm facing while executing the Python script

for i in range(5):
        for j in range(4,7):
            if (str(i) == '0' or str(i) == '1' or str(i) == '2' or str(i) == '3' or str(i) == '4')and(str(j) == '4' or str(j) == '5' or str(j) == '6'):
                hrs_fill = driver.find_element_by_xpath("//*[@id='"+ Date+str(i) +"_50"+ str(j) +"_166003-5_hrs']")
                hrs_fill.send_keys('3')
                break

Getting the error:

NameError: name 'Date' is not defined

It's considering Date as separate variable and str(i) as separate variable not as combined

You create variables called Date0 and Date1, but you called only 'Date' on the code. Try:

"//*[@id='"+ Date0+str(i) +"_50"+ str(j) +"_166003-5_hrs']"

or

"//*[@id='"+ Date1+str(i) +"_50"+ str(j) +"_166003-5_hrs']"

Use the operator + if you're dealing with strings like

String myString1 = "Hey Dude..." + "How are you?";

Use a dict

Ex:

import time
dar = time.localtime(time.time())
das = time.localtime(time.time() + 86400)
date = {"Date0": time.strftime("%Y-%m-%d",dar), "Date1": time.strftime("%Y-%m-%d",das)}
print(date["Date"+str(0)])

date = {"Date0": time.strftime("%Y-%m-%d",dar), "Date1": time.strftime("%Y-%m-%d",das)}
hrs_fill = driver.find_element_by_xpath("//*[@id='"+ date["Date"+str(i)] +"_50"+ str(j) +"_166003-5_hrs']")
