+ (concatenation)

Tinderbox Icon


Operator Type:   Operator
Operator Scope of Action:   Item
Operator Purpose:   Mathematical

The concatenation operator, + (plus sign character), joins the strings/references/expressions before and after it. Thus, the expression

$FullName = "$FirstName"+" "+"$LastName" 

evaluates a first name "Jane" and last name "Doe" to give a string value "Jane Doe" for the FullName attribute.

The + sign is also used for numerical addition. Depending on context, Tinderbox will decided which operation is intended by the + sign. This is a very good reason to always enclose literal text strings in quotes.
