Python: How to call a variable in an input prompt?

Question

I want to ask the following questions:

What is the team name?

How many points did (team_name) score?

I've tried the this and have gotten back an error:

team_name = input("What is the team name? ")

points = input("How many points did", team_name, "score? ")

please help!

Answer 1

Here's a python3.6 way of doing this:

points = input(f"How many points did {team_name} score?")

Answer 2

What error are you getting?

I'm fairly confident your problem is that you are passing three parameters to input on the second line, instead of concatenating the strings which I think you're trying to do here.

Try:

points = input("How many points did " + str(team_name) + " score?")
