My paths and information are correct. Im trying to just get a series of stars $(*****)$ to appear infront of the $4$ digits of the social. It should look like $*****6789.$

But when I try my code breaks saying TypeError: bad operand type for unary $+$: $\text{'}$str$\text{'}$

As far as I can tell this should work its worked through the rest of my code but doesnt here. Here is the section it came from.

def ShowData$()$:

#displays information

try:

with open$("$C:$\backslash \backslash$Users$\backslash \backslash$CC$4$ STUDENT$\backslash \backslash$Desktop$\backslash \backslash$CST$301\_$LEC$\_151\backslash \backslash$Activity $5\mathrm{.}3$ Classes and Objects$\backslash \backslash$employee$.$dat", $"$rb$")$ as file:

print$("\{$: $<20\}\{$: $<15\}\{$: $<10\}\{$: $<10\}\{$: $<10\}".$format$("$Employee Name", $"$ID$",$ "Hours Worked", "Pay Rate", "Gross Pay"$))$

print$("------------------------------------------------------------------------")$

while True:

try:

obj $=$ pickle.load$($file$)$

print$("\{$: $<20\}\{$: $<15\}\{$: $<10\}\{$: $<10\}\{$: $<10\}".$format$($obj$.$get$\_$Fname$()+""+$

obj.get$\_$Lname$(),+"*****"+$

obj.get$\_$social$()[5$:$],$ obj.get$\_$hrs$\_$worked$(),$ obj.get$\_$rate$(),$ obj.get$\_$gross$()))$

except EOFError:

break

except FileNotFoundError:

print$("$The file could not be found."$)$

if $\_\_$name$\_\_=="\_\_$main$\_\_"$:

# runs the following functions

EmployeeInfo$()$ # Input employee information

ShowData$()$ # Display employee information
