TypeError: can only concatenate str (not "bytes") to str in Python
Hello you guys, I am a newbie in Python and I'm also studying more about Python.
I have some lines of code and I want to mix bytes datatype with some other operator and bytes characters. My block of code as below:
symbol = b'j|encoding: hexdump emoji.txt0000000 f0 9f 98 ae 0000004'
sum_text = '\xff' * 5 + symbol * 10
print(sum_text)
But I get an exception throw TypeError: can only concatenate str (not "bytes") to str when I run code above.
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "main.py", line 3, in <module>
sum_text = '\xff' * 5 + symbol * 10
TypeError: can only concatenate str (not "bytes") to str
And I am using python 3.8.2
Anyone can explain it to me? How can I solve it?
Thanks for any suggestions.

You can't concat
string
withbyte
data type. I sure you miss it. Please change line code:sum_text = '\xff' * 5 + symbol * 10
To
sum_text = b'\xff' * 5 + symbol * 10
And it work for you.

Change
'\xff'
tob'\xff'
and it work for you.symbol = b'j|encoding: hexdump emoji.txt0000000 f0 9f 98 ae 0000004' sum_text = b'\xff' * 5 + symbol * 10 print(sum_text)
#Output
