Concatenates two strings

Operatorsoperatordocumented

Syntax

Declare Operator + ( ByRef lhs As String, ByRef rhs As String ) As String

Declare Operator + ( ByRef lhs As ZString, ByRef rhs As ZString ) As ZString

Declare Operator + ( ByRef lhs As WString, ByRef rhs As WString ) As WString

Parameters

Name		Description
`lhs`		The left-hand side string to concatenate.
`rhs`		The right-hand side string to concatenate.

Description

This operator concatenates two strings. Unlike Operator & (String Concatenation With Conversion) both expressions must be strings, and may not be converted (in fact, any attempt to concatenate a string with a non-string or two non-strings will result in a type mismatch error, with the exception of when operator overloading is used in a UDT).

Remarks

Usage



result = lhs + rhs

Differences from QB

None

Example

Dim As String a = "Hello, ", b = "World!"

Dim As String c

c = a + b

Print c

Output:

Hello, World!
