What is Concatenation?
Concatenation is the operation of joining two strings together.
Use Cases
Example
print("Hello" .. " Lua User") Output: Hello Lua User local who = "Lua User" print("Hello "..who) Output: Hello Lua User
Numbers can be concatenated to strings. In this case they are coerced into strings and then concatenated.
Example
print("Green bottles: "..10) Output: Green bottles: 10 print(type("Green bottles: "..10)) Output: string
Strings concatenated onto numbers must have a space after the number of else they won't be coerced.
Example
print("There are "..10.." green bottles.") Output: malformed number near '10..' print("There are "..10 .." green bottles.") Output: There are 10 green bottles.
