Python Development Techdegree Student 3,052 PointsBringing together strings and variables with '+' vs ','
I have a question about putting together strings and variables using operands and commas.
In the previous quiz the output was correct using:
print("* ", continent)
which outputed "* Asia" but the quiz did not accept.
print("* " + continent)
which outputed the same thing and was accepted.
At a deeper level what are the differences or limitations between these two?

and + operand just concatenates it.
try this
name = "Marcos"
a = "* " , name
b = "* " + name
print(a)
print(b)
print(len(a))
print(len(b))
also try this
help(a)
help(b)
the a
will be stored as a tuple and the b
will be more like a single string.
