Formatting strings with integers-CodePudding

I'm trying to increment the video file names every time they get into my folder. I tried the and the join() method but I can't seem to figure it out. I tried integers without quotation marks but the join method wont let me use an integer so I tried with quotation marks but now it won't increment

Here is my code

 VideoNumber  = "99"
 folderLocation = ("C:/Users/someone/Documents", VideoNumber, ".mp4")
 x = "/".join(folderLocation)
 print(x)

You can format integers into a string using an f-string or the format() method on strings.

video_number  = 99
video_path = f"C:/Users/someone/Documents/{video_number}.mp4"
print(video_path)

Just as an example of how to make your original code work, you could keep your number as an integer and then convert it to a string using str() (though note this has a bug because you will have an extra / between the number and .mp4).

VideoNumber  = 99
folderLocation = ("C:/Users/someone/Documents", str(VideoNumber), ".mp4")
x = "/".join(folderLocation)
print(x)

You can cast the integer into string, so your code will be like this

folderLocation = ("C:/Users/someone/Documents", str(VideoNumber), ".mp4")
