&& (concatenator)

Syntax

    expression1 && expression2

Description

String operator; concatenates two expressions, inserting a space character between the original string expressions. If either `expression1` or `expression2` is a number, it is first converted to a string. The resulting expression is a string.

This is a string operator with a precedence level of 2.

Example

This statement concatenates the strings "abra" and "cadabra" and inserts a space between the two:

    put "abra" && "cadabra"

The result is the string "abra cadabra".

Example

This statement concatenates the strings "Today is" and today's date in the long format and inserts a space between the two:

    put "Today is" && the long date

If today's date is Tuesday, March 15, 1999, the result is the string "Today is Tuesday, March 15, 1999".
