• Explain what you expect to happen and what actually happens.

idk how to post the code im on mobile

[misty dawn]

you know how you can't add a number to a string?

!e 'a'+2

[storm current]

@misty dawn :x: Your 3.12 eval job has completed with return code 1.

001 | Traceback (most recent call last):
002 |   File "/home/main.py", line 1, in <module>
003 |     'a'+2
004 |     ~~~^~
005 | TypeError: can only concatenate str (not "int") to str

[misty dawn]

same thing here but instead of a number

you are trying to add your own class to the string

with self

[frail blaze]

hmm

do u mean in the method

[wary merlin]

yeah you probably want self.name there instead

[frail blaze]

ohhh yeah

[misty dawn]

you could also add a __str__ or __repr__ so that you can set a custom thingy for calling it as a string if you want

[frail blaze]

yeah i was able to do it before but i forgot

i always forget like 1 thing

lol

thanks
