String Concatenation

Let's explore some operations that you can perform with strings in JavaScript.

Concatenation

Concatenation is the process of combining two strings. This operation is achieved using the + operator:


              1234
            
let wordOne = "Hello";
let wordTwo = "World";

console.log(wordOne + wordTwo);

You can see that concatenation creates a new string by combining two words.

Note
String concatenation does not automatically add spaces. You need to manually include spaces like string1 + " " + string2.

Let's create a nicely formatted string through concatenation:


              1234
            
let wordOne = "Hello";
let wordTwo = "World";

console.log(wordOne + ", " + wordTwo + "!");

Concatenation with Assignment

The += operator allows you to add text to a string-type variable:


              12345
            
let text = "Were";
text += "wolf";
text += "!";

console.log(text)
