Adding info to a variable
 

I have the variable Adam that contains some information.

Later on i have some more information to add to the variable adam. How can this be done

something like

adam = "john"

adam = adam + "mike"

Re: Adding info to a variable
 

It depends on the type of data and how you intend to use it.

>>> adam = "john"

>>> adam += "mike"

>>> adam

'johnmike'

>>> ' '.join([adam, 'fred'])

'johnmike fred'

>>>

If you want to do that to an int and you just want to add it on the end then you could go:

>>> adam = 123

>>> john = 456

>>> #if you just add them together they don't add on to the end, 

>>> print adam+john

579

>>> print str(adam)+str(john)

123456

>>> # and then you can turn that back into an int using the int() function

Re: Adding info to a variable
 

You seem to be wanting to store a collection of information. Have a look at lists, sets and dictionaries in the python documentation.
