In addition to the comparison operators, which can be used on string values, the concatenation operator + joins two string values together, returning another string that is the union of the two operand strings. For example,

var Text1 = "my "
var Text2 = "string"

Thus, the expression Text1 + Text2 returns the string "my string".

The shorthand assignment operator += can also be used to concatenate strings. For example,

var Text1 = "alpha"
Text1 += "bet"

If the variable Text1 has the value "alpha," then the expression Text1 += "bet" evaluates to "alphabet" and assigns this value to Text1.
