[Tutor] Concatenating Strings

[brian arb]

Your right that example from the book is a terrible example the point or
the reason to concatenating strings.

here is a simple usage of where concatenating strings prints out a simple
string as a counter in a loop.

>>> for i in range(5):
...     print(str(i) + ' in for loop')
...
0 in for loop
1 in for loop
2 in for loop
3 in for loop
4 in for loop
