title: How to return a string without quotes Python 3
body: <p>I've got to write a single-input module that can convert decimals to Bukiyip (some ancient language with a counting base of 3 or 4). For the purpose of the assignment, we only need to work with base 3.</p>
  
  <p>I've written some code that does this, but it returns my Bukiyip number with quotes, leaving me with an answer such as '110' for 12.</p>
  
  <p>Please help me understand how to work around this? I'm new to Python and keen to learn so explanations will be really appreciated.</p>
  
  <pre><code>def bukiyip_to_decimal(num):
      convert_to_string = "012"
      if num &lt; 3:
          return convert_to_string[num]
      else:
          return bukiyip_to_decimal(num//3) + convert_to_string[num%3]
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I've also tried the following, but get errors.</p>
  
  <pre><code>    else:
          result = bukiyip_to_decimal(num//3) + convert_to_string[num%3]
          print(int(result))
  </code></pre>
