string1 & string 2

The concatenation returns a string made of sticking both variables together. If some of the variables are not strings, the STR function is called automatically to convert the variable to a string.

Multiple concatenations per line are supported, and the strings can include string functions such as LEFT, RIGHT, HEX and STR.  Also if a constant or integer is used it will be automatically converted to a string, as if it had been enclosed in a STR().

DIM A$(20)
DIM C$(20)
A$="The result is: "
B=1243
C$=A$ & B
PRINT C$
SLEEP

The output would look like:

The result is: 1243
