Code cant run

I run the code it shows on video at 3:09 but it says : Traceback (most recent call last):
File "notifications.py", line 4, in <module>
result = praise + "!" + number_of_charaters
TypeError: must be str, not int

Hey Mark,

I have watched the video and edited my answer. You have a typo in the code. You have to multiply the exclamation mark with the number_of_charaters instead of performing an addition. If the number_of_charaters contains, let's say 5 characters, the exclamation mark will be printed out 5 times. Neat right :)
