TypeError Due to Operations Between Different Data Types

A TypeError typically occurs when you try to perform arithmetic operations on incompatible data types, such as numbers and strings.

For example, adding a string (apple) and a number (ten), as shown below, will raise a TypeError.

TypeError Example

ten = 10
apple = "apple"

result = apple + ten  # TypeError: unsupported operand type(s) for +: 'int' and 'str'

How to Handle TypeError

To prevent a TypeError, ensure that data types match or are appropriately converted before performing operations.

Data Type Conversion Example

number = 10
text = "apple"

result = str(number) + text  # '10apple'
