+In Python, you can combine strings using the `+` operator. This is called concatenation. Here is an example:
+
+```python
+greeting = 'Hello' + 'World'
+print(greeting) # Output: HelloWorld
+```
+
+Create a variable `full_name` by concatenating `first_name` and `last_name`. Then print `full_name`.
+
+# --hints--
+
+You should have a variable named `full_name`.
+
+```js
+({ test: () => assert(runPython(`_Node(_code).has_variable("full_name")`)) })
+```
+
+You should assign a string formed by concatenating `first_name` and `last_name` to your `full_name` variable.
+
+```js
+({ test: () => assert(runPython(`_Node(_code).find_variable("full_name").is_equivalent("full_name = first_name + last_name")`)) })
+```
+
+You should print the `full_name` variable.
+
+```js
+({ test: () => assert(runPython(`_Node(_code).has_call("print(full_name)")`)) })
+```

+If you concatenate two strings like `'John' + 'Doe'`, the result is `'JohnDoe'` with no space. To fix this, you need to concatenate a string containing a space (`' '`) between them.

+
+Now, your address seems incomplete. You also want to add the apartment number where the employee lives, so you should modify the variable.  
+
+When you want to add content to the end of an existing string variable, you can use the **augmented assignment** operator ,`+=`. This is shorter than writing `var = var + 'new text'`. For example:  
+
+```py
+greeting = 'Hello'
+greeting += ' World'
+print(greeting) # Hello World
+```
+
+Remember that strings are immutable, therefore this operation does not change the original string. Instead it creates a new string and reassigns it to the variable.
+
+Use the `+=` operator to add the string `, Apartment 4B` to your `address` variable.
+
+# --hints--

+Now you're going to use the `str()` function one more time. Just like with age, you must convert any numeric variable to a string before concatenating it with other text.
+
+Create a variable named `experience_years` and assign it the integer `5`.

+
+Concatenating many strings using `+` and converting numbers using `str()` can get messy and hard to read.
+
+Python 3.6 introduced **f-strings** to solve this. By adding the letter `f` before the opening quote, you can put variables and expressions inside replacement fields represented represented by curly braces `{}`. For example:
+
+```python
+name = 'John'
+print(f'Hello {name}') # Output: Hello John
+```
+
+Create a variable `employee_card` and assign it an f-string that displays `Employee:` followed by a space and the value of the `full_name` variable.
+
+# --hints--
+
+You should have a variable named `employee_card`.
+
+```js
+({ test: () => assert(runPython(`_Node(_code).has_variable("employee_card")`)) })

+
+When working with strings, you'll often need to extract a specific portion of a string. This is called **slicing**.
+
+The syntax is `string[start:stop]`, where:
+
+* `start` is the index where the slice begins (**inclusive**).
+* `stop` is the index where the slice ends (**exclusive**).
+
+For example, if `text = 'Python'`, then `text[0:2]` gives `'Py'`.
+
+Define `employee_code` as `'DEV-2026-JD-001'`. After that, create a variable `department` and assign it the slice of `employee_code` from index `0` to `3`. Then print `department` to the terminal.
+
+# --hints--
+You should have a variable named `employee_code`.
+
+```js
+({ test: () => assert(runPython(`_Node(_code).has_variable("employee_code")`)) })
+```
+
+You should assign the string `DEV-2026-JD-001` to your `employee_code` variable.
+
+```js
+({ test: () => assert(runPython(`_Node(_code).find_variable("employee_code").is_equivalent("employee_code = 'DEV-2026-JD-001'")`)) })
+```
+
+You should have a variable named `department`.
+
+```js
+({ test: () => assert(runPython(`_Node(_code).has_variable("department")`)) })
+```
+
+You should slice the first three characters of `employee_code` and assign them to your `department` variable.
+
+```js
+({ test: () => runPython(`
+dep = _Node(_code).find_variable("department")
+assert dep.is_equivalent("department = employee_code[0:3]") or dep.is_equivalent("department = employee_code[:3]")
+`) })
+```
+
+You should print `department` to the terminal.
+

+You can slice from any part of the string, not just the beginning. And it is helpful in many cases.
+
+Create a variable `year_code` and assign it the slice of `employee_code` from index `4` to `8`. This will extract `2026`.
+
+Then create a variable `initials` and assign it the slice of `employee_code` from index `9` to `11`. This will extract `JD`.

+You can also use negative numbers to slice from the end of a string. For example, `-1` refers to the last character, `-2` refers to the second-to-last character, and so on.
+
+To get the last three characters of a string, you can use `string[-3:]`. Note how the stop parameter is omitted after the colon. This means the slicing should proceed up to the string boundary.
+
+Create a variable named `last_three`. Use negative indexing to extract the last three characters from `employee_code` (which represent the ID number). Finally, print `last_three` to the terminal.
+
+With that, the employee card workshop is complete.

+Strings are sequences of characters used to store text data. As you might recall from previous lessons, you can create a string by enclosing text inside either single (`'`) or double (`"`) quotes. For example:
+
+```python
+greeting = 'Hello'
+print(greeting) # Output: Hello
+```
+

+As you can see Python raised a `TypeError: can only concatenate str (not "int") to str`. This happens because Python does not allow you to concatenate text (strings) and numbers (integers) directly.
+
+To fix this, you must convert the number to a string first using the `str()` function, which returns the string version of an object:
+
+```py
+my_num = str(42)
+print(type(my_num)) # <class 'str'>
+```
+
+Update your `employee_info` assignment to convert `employee_age` to a string using `str(employee_age)`.
+
+# --hints--
+
+You should modify the assignment of your `employee_info` variable by converting `employee_age` into a string with `str(employee_age)`.
