💖 GOLF(2gg) — the concatenate-strings page, bestie edition 💖

okay so real quick, this is page GOLF(2gg) from the Development manual, and it's literally all about smashing strings together. grab a snack, we're doing this 🍓

---

✨ NAME ✨

concatenate-strings — (strings) 🎀

---

🌸 PURPOSE 🌸

Add strings using a plus ("+") sign. that's it. that's the whole job. iconic behavior honestly 💅

---

🦋 SYNTAX 🦋

<string> + <string> [ + ... ]

like, keep stacking them. the [ + ... ] is your little invitation to go feral 🔥

---

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

So here's the vibe: string variables and string literals can produce a brand-new string by concatenation, and the whole thing runs on that plus ("+") clause. no cap.

And the way this is so flexible?? You can use concatenation in any statement where a string is expected. anywhere. any statement. she's welcome everywhere, main character energy fr fr 👑

okay but the important bit — bestie, listen — you can concatenate binary strings too. yes, the ones that do not end with a null character. each binary string gets used in its true length, and the result will in general be a binary string. that's just how it is 💀

---

🌈 EXAMPLES 🌈

okay first example, we're concatenating two string constants AND a variable called "var". watch:

set-string var = "day"
set-string newstr = "nice " + var + " it is!"
print-out newstr new-line

and the result? "nice day it is!" — we ate, no crumbs 😭💖

---

Second one, this is the practical girlie. Here, directory (that's variable "dir") is concatenated with a forward slash ("/") and then the file name (variable "file") to produce the full path of a file to read:

read-file dir+"/"+file to content

see how clean that is? full path, one line, slay ✨
