"string" "add" Operation

This section describes 'string' 'add' operation

The "string" "add" operation is provided through the string.add() function, which has the following syntax:

string.add(a, b)

Parameters:
   a - First "string" data object
   b - Second "string" data object
   
Return: 
   Returns a new "string" data object representing 
   concatenation of strings represented in "a" and "b". 

The "string" "add" operation can be expressed in the "+" operator format:

a + b; # alias of the following function call
string.add(a, b); 

Another alias is supported too:

string.concatenate(a, b); # alias of the following function call
string.add(a, b); 

Design options:

1. Use + as the "string" "add" operator.

2. Use & as the "string" "add" operator.

3. Use . as the "string" "add" operator.
