To continue on, what do you want "addition" of dissimilar types to do - 
since that's what you have asked for above.

You can write yourself an object which is happy with certain 
combinations, so you don't have this scenario:

 >>> x + y
Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "<input>", line 1, in <module>
     x + y
      ~~^~~
TypeError: can only concatenate str (not "int") to str
 >>> y + x
Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "<input>", line 1, in <module>
     y + x
      ~~^~~
TypeError: unsupported operand type(s) for +: 'int' and 'str'
 >>>


Or you can help out the print function by doing some of the fiddling 
yourself:

 >>> print(f"{x}{y}")
1a
