Computer Science Level 2

You want to also create a duplicate copy of the message for your records, that is clearly marked as the teacher's copy. What is the output if we try to put the string inside another string?

name = 'Aditya'
score = 98

message = "Hi %s. You achieved a score of %d." % (name, score)

print "Teacher's Copy: %s" % message

Teacher's Copy: "Hi Aditya. You achieved a score of 98 in the class." Teacher's Copy: Hi Aditya. You achieved a score of 98 in the class. TypeError: 'str' object is not callable Teacher's Copy: 'Hi Aditya. You achieved a score of 98 in the class.'

Clearly the variable message is also a string (its callable) so the pointer first point to print "Teacher's Copy: %s" % message - then it goes to messege - message = "Hi %s. You achieved a score of %d." % (name, score) then it has to get to name and score and then jumps back to print So we get our answer : Teacher's Copy: Hi Aditya. You achieved a score of 98 in the class.

The correct answer is wrong. You have "in the class" after the score and you haven't typed that into the string "message"
