Concatenation of Numbers and Strings
'This program example demonstrates the concatenation of numbers and strings to variables
'declared As Float and As String.

'Data type of the following destination variables is Float
'because Num() array is declared As Float.

'As shown in the following expression, if all parameter are numbers, the result
'of using '+' is a sum of the numbers:

'Following are examples of using '+' and '*' when one or more parameters are strings.
'Parameters are processed in the standard order of operations. In the order of

'be processed (concatenated) as strings:
