Notes

• When using only string parameters, the plus sign (+) performs string concatenation in expressions exactly as the append function does. Under the same circumstances, the minus sign (-) performs concatenation with trim (stripping of trailing spaces from the first value). The asterisk (*) performs concatenation with trim and inserts a single space between the trimmed values. Read more about string operators under Expression Syntax.

• This function returns a value of type string. If the result of this function is moved to a variable of type other than string, its value is converted to the destination type.

• If any of string1, string2, etc. is of type other than string, its value will be converted to type string.
