title: TypeError: can only concatenate str (not "int") to str - (New Learner)
body: <pre><code>age = input("Enter your age: ")
  print("You are " +age+ " years old.")
  add_age = input("How much older do you want to be?:")
  new_age = int(age + add_age)
  print("Congrats! You are now " +new_age+ " years old!")
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This is probably one of the easiest and simple fixes, but I've been learning python for about 1 day and I cannot get my head around this error. My code is noted above. I tried with Line 3</p>
  
  <pre><code>new_age = int(age + add_age)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>without the int(), but it returns the two texts added together, not the numerical input.</p>
  
  <p>Hopefully, someone can assist me.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks in advance!</p>
  
  <p>Edit: Ouch, rough crowd... New learner and user of the website, thought I'd get a little more leniency in asking a duplicate question. In my defense, I searched for my question before asking and there were topics which came up, but they didn't exactly reach into my exact problem of converting to achieve the value I needed. Maybe they did, but there was a lot of information and as a new learner, everything looks like a jargled mess to me at the moment. Anyways, apologies for the duplicate.</p>
