How to add variables into a string?

Question

I have an empty string strLocation and I would like to insert the three variables x, y and z to make the string a location of a point which is (x,y,z). I know I cannot simply add 'x' 'y' and 'z' because that will just add the letters instead of the actual values they hold. What should I do?

Something like

 strLocation = "("+str(x)+","+str(y)+","+str(z)+")"

@Kroltan It doesn't, see [this question](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/32121115/python-implicit-conversion-of-object-to-str/32121506#32121506) for someone having that problem. – SuperBiasedMan Aug 20 '15 at 15:19
