Method Reference: string.plus

string: newstr = plus (str1, str2)

Append strings.

newstr = lower (str) is the equivalent of the syntax newstr = str1 + str2 and appends str2 to str1. Both input arguments must be string arrays of compatible size.

Example: 1

plus (+) concatenates two strings — a compact alternative to append. Both operands must be strings (a bare '-' is a char, so wrap it).

 a = string ({'Ann'; 'Bob'})
a =
  2x1 string array

    "Ann"    
    "Bob"
 b = string ({'Lee'; 'Ng'})
b =
  2x1 string array

    "Lee"    
    "Ng"
 a + string (' ') + b
ans =
  2x1 string array

    "Ann Lee"    
    "Bob Ng"
