[FIXED] Why can't I set my label to my self click count?

Issue

my ui main window contains:

self.clickcount = 0 

This is my button press:

def nextApplicant(self):
    self.clickcount += 1
    print(self.clickcount)
    self.label_4.setText(clickcount)

so print(self.clickcount) prints no problem but I can't use it for anything else. It wont appear in my label. I can't send it to a text document. What's going on here?

Solution

If you just want to assign the value of the self.clickcount variable to the self.label_4 label, you need to convert the value of self.clickcount to a string since the setText method takes a string as an argument.

def nextApplicant(self):
    self.clickcount += 1
    print(self.clickcount)
    self.label_4.setText(str(self.clickcount))
