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:

My two "favorites":

print '<p>The total rolled was: %s </p>' % number
[py 2.7+] print('<p>The total rolled was: {} </p>'.format(number))
