Operator + (String Concatenation)

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
rhs

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).

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

Output:

Hello, World!
