Variables in Python - a simple question
<p>I'm a novice Python user trying to do something that I think should be simple but can't figure it out.  I've got 2 variables defined:</p>

<pre><code>a = 'lemon'
b = 'lime'
</code></pre>

<p>Can someone tell me how to combine these in a new variable?</p>

<p>If I try:</p>

<pre><code>&gt;&gt;&gt; soda = "a" + "b"
&gt;&gt;&gt; soda
'ab'
</code></pre>

<p>I want soda to be <code>'lemonlime'</code>. How is this done?</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>
