<h2 class="wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio">Problem Formulation and Solution Overview</h2>
<p class="wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio">In this article, you’ll learn how to print a string and an integer together in Python.</p>
<p class="wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio">To make it more fun, we have the following running scenario:</p>
<p><em>The <a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://academy.finxter.com/" data-type="URL" data-id="https://academy.finxter.com/" target="_blank">Finxter Academy</a> has decided to send its users an encouraging message using their First Name (a String) and Problems Solved (an Integer). They have provided you with five (5) fictitious users to work with and to select the most appropriate option.</em></p>

<p class="wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio">We can accomplish this task by one of the following options:</p>
<ul type="video" class="wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio">
<li><strong>Method 1</strong>: Use a <a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://blog.finxter.com/python-print/" data-type="URL" data-id="https://blog.finxter.com/python-print/" target="_blank"><code>print()</code></a> function</li>
<li><strong>Method 2</strong>: Use the <a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://blog.finxter.com/python-print/" data-type="URL" data-id="https://blog.finxter.com/python-print/" target="_blank"><code>print()</code></a> function and <a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://blog.finxter.com/python-str-function/" data-type="URL" data-id="https://blog.finxter.com/python-str-function/" target="_blank"><code>str()</code></a> method</li>
<li><strong>Method 3</strong>: Use <code>f-string</code> with the <a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://blog.finxter.com/python-print/" data-type="URL" data-id="https://blog.finxter.com/python-print/" target="_blank"><code>print()</code></a> function</li>
<li><strong>Method 4</strong>: Use the <code>%d</code>, <code>%s</code> and <code>%f</code> operators</li>
<li><strong>Method 5</strong>: Use identification numbers</li>
<li><strong>Method 6</strong>: Use <code><a href="https://blog.finxter.com/string-formatting-vs-format-vs-formatted-string-literal/" data-type="post" data-id="13190" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">f-string</a></code> conditionals</li>
<li><strong>Bonus</strong>: Format CSV for output</li>
</ul>
<hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity"/>
<h2>Method 1: Use the print() function</h2>
<p class="has-global-color-8-background-color has-background">This example uses the <a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://blog.finxter.com/python-print/" data-type="URL" data-id="https://blog.finxter.com/python-print/" target="_blank"><code>print()</code></a> function to output a String and an Integer.</p>

<p>This function offers the ability to accept various Data Types and output the results, separated by commas (<code>,</code>) to the terminal.</p>
<p>Although not the most aesthetically pleasing output, it gets the job done. The <a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://blog.finxter.com/python-print/" data-type="URL" data-id="https://blog.finxter.com/python-print/" target="_blank"><code>print()</code></a> function at its most simplistic level!</p>

<p>For each loop, the user’s email address is retrieved from the row position (<code>row[3])</code>. This email address saves to <code>user_email</code>.</p>
<p>Next, the custom email body is formatted using the <code>f-string</code> and passed the user’s First Name and Last Name in the salutation (<code>{row[0]} {row[1]}</code>). Then, the <code>solved</code> variable is formatted to display commas (<code>,</code>) indicating thousands (<code>{row[2]:,d}</code>). The results are saved to <code>e_body</code> and, for this example, are output to the terminal.</p>
<p>For this example, the first record displays.</p>

<p class="wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio">We can accomplish this task by one of the following options:</p>
<ul type="video" class="wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio">
<li><strong>Method 1</strong>: Use a <a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://blog.finxter.com/python-print/" data-type="URL" data-id="https://blog.finxter.com/python-print/" target="_blank"><code>print()</code></a> function</li>
<li><strong>Method 2</strong>: Use the <a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://blog.finxter.com/python-print/" data-type="URL" data-id="https://blog.finxter.com/python-print/" target="_blank"><code>print()</code></a> function and <a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://blog.finxter.com/python-str-function/" data-type="URL" data-id="https://blog.finxter.com/python-str-function/" target="_blank"><code>str()</code></a> method</li>
<li><strong>Method 3</strong>: Use <code>f-string</code> with the <a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://blog.finxter.com/python-print/" data-type="URL" data-id="https://blog.finxter.com/python-print/" target="_blank"><code>print()</code></a> function</li>
<li><strong>Method 4</strong>: Use the <code>%d</code>, <code>%s</code> and <code>%f</code> operators</li>
<li><strong>Method 5</strong>: Use identification numbers</li>
<li><strong>Method 6</strong>: Use <code><a href="https://blog.finxter.com/string-formatting-vs-format-vs-formatted-string-literal/" data-type="post" data-id="13190" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">f-string</a></code> conditionals</li>
<li><strong>Bonus</strong>: Format CSV for output</li>
</ul>
<hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity"/>
<h2>Method 1: Use the print() function</h2>
<p class="has-global-color-8-background-color has-background">This example uses the <a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://blog.finxter.com/python-print/" data-type="URL" data-id="https://blog.finxter.com/python-print/" target="_blank"><code>print()</code></a> function to output a String and an Integer.</p>

<p>This function offers the ability to accept various Data Types and output the results, separated by commas (<code>,</code>) to the terminal.</p>
<p>Although not the most aesthetically pleasing output, it gets the job done. The <a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://blog.finxter.com/python-print/" data-type="URL" data-id="https://blog.finxter.com/python-print/" target="_blank"><code>print()</code></a> function at its most simplistic level!</p>

<p>Next, a <a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://blog.finxter.com/python-loops/" data-type="URL" data-id="https://blog.finxter.com/python-loops/" target="_blank">For</a> loop is instantiated to iterate through each row of the DataFrame <code>finxters</code>.</p>

<p>For each loop, the user’s email address is retrieved from the row position (<code>row[3])</code>. This email address saves to <code>user_email</code>.</p>
<p>Next, the custom email body is formatted using the <code>f-string</code> and passed the user’s First Name and Last Name in the salutation (<code>{row[0]} {row[1]}</code>). Then, the <code>solved</code> variable is formatted to display commas (<code>,</code>) indicating thousands (<code>{row[2]:,d}</code>). The results are saved to <code>e_body</code> and, for this example, are output to the terminal.</p>
<p>For this example, the first record displays.</p>
