Nga;

One can concatenate strings to make a single variable, so you could do something like:

something = "some" + "thing"

and Python will add some and thing together to put the value of something into the variable named something.

One thing to note here is that when the strings are concatenated, spacing is an issue so:

something = "some " + "thing"

will result in the variable something having a value of some thing.

Post back if you are still stuck.

Happy coding,
Ken
