Operator + (String Concatenation)
Concatenates two strings
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
result = lhs + rhs
lhs
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).
Output:
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.
rhsThe 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).
Example
Dim As String a = "Hello, ", b = "World!"
Dim As String c
c = a + b
Print c
Dim As String c
c = a + b
Print c
Output:
Hello, World!
