Hello Guys, I'm a beginner in Python and started learning it yesterday. I tried to write something basic with a function and learn how to output data. I created a function to help return the sum of two numbers and use the print() method to help print out the value. You can see here:
import numpy as np
def sumable(a ,b) :
return a + b
str = "Total your working days are: "
totalWorkingDay = sumable(10, 16)
print(str(str + str(totalWorkingDay)))
But when I run this code I got an exception TypeError: 'str' object is not callable.
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "main.py", line 10, in <module>
print(str(str + str(totalWorkingDay)))
TypeError: 'str' object is not callable
I research from Google and know str() is a build-in function of Python and it helps convert other data-type to strings.
Why did I get this error? Thanks for any suggestions.

This error occurred because you have the same variable with the name
str. So Python will default understand that thestr()function is a variable. All you need is change your variable to another name, and not allow duplicates with any keyword in Python. For example:import numpy as np def sumable(a ,b) : return a + b msg = "Total your working days are: " totalWorkingDay = sumable(10, 16) print(str(msg + str(totalWorkingDay)))#Output
Total your working days are: 26happy code :d
