However, I also need to say something along the lines of "your total number was X". That's what I'm having trouble with. I added the dice rolls together and put them into a variable I called "number" but it seems to glitch out that variable is in any command other than "print number". Like, if I try to write:

That would be: print "<p>your total number was" + str(number) + "</p>"

Notice two differences:

- Used the + operator to concatenate two strings: "foo" + "bar" == "foobar"
- Converted the number from integer to string, you can't do: <int> +
  <str> directly, you have to either int(<str>) + <int> if you want to do
  an integer addition, or: str(<int>) + <str>, if you want string
  concatenation.

You didn't use an operator, and «"string" variable "string"» is not
valid python.
