Python String Concatenation

String Concatenation

String concatenation means add strings together.

Use the + character to add a variable to another variable:

x = "Python is "
y = "awesome"
z = x + y
print(z)

Merge variable a with variable b into variable c:

a = "Hello"
b = "World"
c = a + b
print(c)

To add a space between them, add a " ":

a = "Hello"
b = "World"
c = a + " " + b
print(c)

For numbers, the + character works as a mathematical operator:

x = 5
y = 10
print(x + y)

If you try to combine a string and a number, Python will give you an error:

x = 5
y = "John"
print(x + y)
