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)+")"

?
