Quote:
Are the 0 and 1 the positional locations of the 2 variables? Does it change it to a single string or something?

There are also ways to explicitly tell python that the associated value should be treated as a numeric value as opposed to a string, left- or right-aligned, zero- or space-padded, etc.
