Python code error

Rather than just throwing up a wall of code and expecting us do the work for you, how about telling everyone what errors are generated and what you have done so far to troubleshoot?

We're not here to do your homework for you. We will help guide, but we won't do the work for you.

Sorry if I wasn't clear it is for my computer science class but not homework. I did this of my own accord to help learn python quicker.
As for the error I have had several and each time I think I have figured it out I am proven wrong and honestly have no idea where the error is
I have tried changing all sorts of the code but have only been using python for two weeks and don't know it well enough to understand it properly. After spending all evening working on it I decided I should ask someone with more knowledge for help. The forum also wouldn't let me add an attachment and not knowing what the error was I had to copy and paste it into the question.
I think that the error occurs at the int addition towards the end as all the questions appear to work correctly however am not sure what causes it to not work
Very sorry if it sounded like I was asking you to do my homework for me I am just trying to get my head around python as many of my class already have a good understanding and I need to try and catch up in my spare time

syntax error? read this

I do not get a syntax error i get this

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "E:\18 Quiz.py", line 212, in <module>
sum=int("answer1"+"answer2"+"answer3"+"answer4"+"answer5"+"answer6"+"answer7"+"answer8"+"answer9"+"answer0")
ValueError: invalid literal for int() with base 10: 'answer1answer2answer3answer4answer5answer6answer7answer8answer9answer0

Not really sure what it means but guessing i need to change the calculation. The only problem is everything i do to it just seems to result in more errors and not having a value for each individual answer,
Also thanks for the site it looks very useful. At the moment I am using a power point designed by a high school teacher and its not very useful so this may help.

MERGED QUESTION
Question from moshingbonzo : "python 3.5 code issues"

I have been learning python code on my own to gain an advantage in my computer science class for the last couple of weeks from a collection of lessons put online by a high school teacher. Since then i have learnt quite a lot and created several small programs however have just tried to create a 10 question quiz.
The program works right up to a calculation and despite having done them before and looking through the power points i have been working through.

This is the code for the questions and the error and if anyone could help me out that would be great. Ill also post the rest of the code below just in case but i don't believe there are any issues with it.

The code
print("Incorrect ")
print()
time.sleep(1)
sum=int("answer1"+"answer2"+"answer3"+"answer4"+"answer5"+"answer6"+"answer7"+"answer8"+"answer9"+"answer0")
print("You scored",sum)

The Error
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "E:\18 Quiz.py", line 212, in <module>
sum=int("answer1"+"answer2"+"answer3"+"answer4"+"answer5"+"answer6"+"answer7"+"answer8"+"answer9"+"answer0")

It is a syntax error, need to start reading
https/www.tutorialspoint.com/python/python_variable_types.htm

That is help full and it does appear that the string is wrong for the answers for the questions (and used in the sum) but whenever i remove the "'s from either side the program fails to start completely

 

[rgd1101]

Did you read that link? the issue is literal vs variable
here another one
https/en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Literal_(computer_programming)

 

[moshingbonzo]

Did you read that link? the issue is literal vs variable
here another one
https/en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Literal_(computer_programming)

yes i have read the links and every time alters the code to no or even worse results. The code is begging to drive me mad as i cannot tell what is wrong

 

[rgd1101]

Since you are a beginner, start from basic, don't do 10 questions, do 1.
Look at the result.

 

[moshingbonzo]

figured it out. The issue wasn't with the questions but with the final calculation.It the use of brackets around the answers and the use of double brackets for these calculations. Once i changed them around it was all sorted and works now. Thanks for the help rgd1101
