Operator + (String Concatenation)
 
Concatenates two strings

Syntax
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).

Example

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

Output:
Hello, World!
