Operator & (String concatenation with conversion)
Concatenates two strings, converting non-strings to strings as needed
Syntax:
Usage:
result = lhs & rhs
Parameters:
lhs
The left-hand side expression to concatenate.
T
Any standard data type or user-defined type that can be converted to a standard data type.
rhs
The right-hand side expression to concatenate.
U
Any standard data type or user-defined type that can be converted to a standard data type.
V
The resultant string type (varies with operands).
Description:
This operator concatenates two expressions. If either of the expressions is not a string type, it is converted to String with Str.
If either of the expressions is a Wstring, a Wstring is returned, otherwise a String is returned.
This operator can be overloaded to accept user-defined types.
Note: This operator exists in C/C++ with a different meaning - there it performs a bitwise And.

Examples:
Dim As String A,C
Dim As Single B
A="The result is: "
B=124.3
C=A & B
Print C
Sleep
Dim As Single B
A="The result is: "
B=124.3
C=A & B
Print C
Sleep
Output:
The result is: 124.3
