Str function

[core7778798507]

Hey! I am working on the medical insurance project within the python syntax lesson. For it we have to make an integer value that is comprised of integers as well as referenced values. From that, we then have to print the result, but are told to do so using the str() phrase. This is where my question comes from, why? What condition makes it necessary to use the srt() phrase? What is its purpose?
