The interactive intepreter is you friend. Of course I'm using actual
numbers instead of variables for the examples. Let's see
IDLE 1.0.3
>>> "Computer = %1.0d Player = %1.0d" (1,2)
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<pyshell#0>", line 1, in -toplevel-
"Computer = %1.0d Player = %1.0d" (1,2)
TypeError: 'str' object is not callable
HMMMM what is the problem?
>>> "Computer = %1.0d Player = %1.0d"%(1,2)
'Computer = 1 Player = 2'
>>>
Here you go. You were missing the % sign after the string, with in this
case is the operator...
