String Concatenation
String concatenation can be performed either using the + operator or by using
MAKESTRING or PRINT functions. It is easier to use the + operator in general
usage, although the formatting options of the MAKESTRING and PRINT functions
give greater flexibility.
The + operator for strings is used the same way as in mathematical expressions.
String concatenation may only be used as a standalone statement. The syntax is:
<Destination_string> = <String1 > [+ <String2> ...];
When string values appear on the right-side of the equal sign, the exact contents are
appended to the new string. <String> values may be of type literal (quoted) strings,
BUFFER_INPUT, STRING, STRING_INPUT, or any function that returns a string.
Examples:
STRING A$[100], B$[100], C$[100];
B$=”Hello”;
C$=”World!”;
I=56;
J=2;
// This will output “Hello562World!”
A$=B$+ITOA(I)+ITOA(J)+”xyz”+C$;
PRINT(“%s”, A$);
// This will output “VHello2World”
A$=CHR(I)+B$+ITOA(J)+C$;
PRINT(“%s”, A$);
