Here, you are inadvertently overwriting the built-in print function by assigning it a string value. As a result, when you later try to call print to output information, Python throws a TypeError because it is trying to call a string as if it were a function.

The Solution: Fixing the Code

To resolve this error, you simply need to remove the assignment of the print function to a string. Here’s the corrected code:

Removed the line where print was reassigned, ensuring that the built-in print function remains functional.

Conclusion

Errors like the str object not callable can be a frustrating part of learning programming. However, understanding the root cause allows you to fix errors more efficiently in the future. The next time you encounter a similar issue, remember to check that you haven't accidentally overridden any built-in functions.

Happy coding, and keep experimenting with your Python projects!
