FBWiki: KeyPgOpConcat

Operator + (String concatenation)

Concatenates two strings

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
Usage:result = lhs + rhs
Parameters:

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).

Examples:

Dim As String a = "Hello, ", b = "World!"
Dim As String c
c = a + b
Print c

Output:

Hello, World!

Differences from QB:
