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

Traceback $($most recent call last$)$:

File $"$C:$/$Python$/$Python$312/$test$.$py$",$ line $113,$ in

ShowData$()$ # Display employee information

File $"$C:$/$Python$/$Python$312/$test$.$py$",$ line $104,$ in ShowData

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

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. $**$Note: The blank space in the between the first set of plus signs has to be there to match the code format of what this is supposed to be$.$ It does not throw an error. I only got an error after adding in the series of stars but I also need those to match the format but they are whats breaking the code. Why would it take one over the other and how would I alleviate this?

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