String concatenation in very simple terms is the joining of two strings.
A string is a group of characters that can be alphabetic, numeric or special characters.
A numeric string must be converted to a numeric type before it can be used in calculations.
Concatenation is language dependant and may have different operators depending on the computer programming language used.
'''Example'''
a = "this is"<br>
b = "my name."<br>
print ab <br>
printed > this ismy name (note no space between is and my )<br>
print a + b <br>
printed> this is my name ( the + operator joins the strings with a space between them. )<br>
