The + sign there is used for concating two strings together, for example - output = 'foo' + 'bar' Will give the variable output the value of the characters 'foobar'. This also works with mixed values of variables holding strings and raw strings, for example - foo = 'foo' output = foo + 'bar' Which gives the same output as my previous example. To OP: I would not use the method you have used, but rather use string formatting, so I would use on line 10 - print 'Well, %s, I am thinking of a number between 1 & 20.' % (myName) And on line 30 (which won't need the str(guessesTaken) on line 29) - print 'Good job, %s! You guessed the number in %d guesses!' % (myName, guessesTaken) And then finally on line 34 - print 'Nope. The number I was thinking of was %d' % (number) By the way, for readability, tryToavoidCamelCase. I also recommend you look into functions, classes, and exceptions - this example is a good one with a lot of room to grow :)
