Problem

Handling a TypeError when trying to add an integer and a string.

Code

result = 5 + "10"

Error

TypeError: unsupported operand type(s) for +: 'int' and 'str'

Issue

The error occurs because you cannot directly add an integer (int) and a string (str). Python does not automatically convert between these types for such operations.

Solution

Convert the string to an integer before performing the addition.

Possible code fix

result = 5 + int("10")
print(result)  # Output: 15

Alternatively, you could convert the integer to a string if you need a concatenated string.

Alternative Code

result = str(5) + "10"
print(result)  # Output: "510"
