Oops, thought you said turning a str into an int. Yeah, I’m actually using Idle on a mac. I keep trying differnt things but, I’m just very new to this.
Is this what you’re talking about? minutes=3 seconds=11 print str(minutes) + ‘:’ + str(seconds) Unfortunately I keep getting an error. Also, not really clear on the reasoning behind changing the int to a string?
