Concatenation

Different languages use different symbols for the concatenation operator. Most languages use the "+" symbol, though several deviate from this norm.

Common variants

Operator Languages
+ BASIC, C++, C#, Pascal, Delphi, Eiffel, JavaScript, Java, Python, Turing, Ruby, Windows PowerShell, Objective-C, F#
++ Haskell
$+ mIRC Scripting Language
& Ada, AppleScript, Curl, VHDL, Visual Basic, Excel
. Perl (before version 6), PHP, and Maple (up to version 5), Autohotkey
~ Perl 6 and D
|| Icon, Standard SQL, PL/I, Rexx, and Maple (from version 6)
<> Mathematica
.. Lua
, J programming language, Smalltalk
^ OCaml, Standard ML, F#
// Fortran

Unique variants

  • Awk uses the empty string: two expressions adjacent to each other are concatenated. This is called juxtaposition. Unix shells have a similar syntax. Rexx uses this syntax for concatenation including an intervening space.
  • C allows juxtaposition for string literals, however, for strings stored as character arrays, the strcat function must be used.
  • MATLAB and Octave use the syntax "[x y]" to concatenate x and y.
  • Visual Basic Versions 1 to 6 can also use the "+" sign but, this leads to ambiguity if a string representing a number and a number is added together.
  • Microsoft Excel allows both "&" and the function "=CONCATENATE(X,Y)".

String literals

This section compares styles for declaring a string literal.

Quoted raw

Syntax Language(s)
@"Hello, world!" C#, F#
r"Hello, world!" Python
'Hello, world!' PHP, Perl, Windows PowerShell
<![CDATA[Hello, world!]]> XML (CDATA section)

Quoted interpolated

Syntax Language(s)
"Hello, $name!" PHP, Perl, Windows PowerShell
"Hello, #{name}!" Ruby


Escaped quotes

Syntax Language(s)
"I said \"Hello, world!\"" C, C++, C#, F#, Java, Ocaml
"I said `"Hello, world!`"" Windows Powershell
"I said ^"Hello, world!^"" REBOL
"I said, %"Hello, World!%"" Eiffel

Dual quoting

Syntax Language(s)
"I said ""Hello, world!""" Visual Basic, Excel
{{Expansion depth limit exceeded| left = | #default = 
 }}
 {{Expansion depth limit exceeded| {{{Expansion depth limit exceeded}}}
 | [[File:{{Expansion depth limit exceeded| speedy     = Ambox speedy deletion.png
   | delete     = Ambox deletion.png
   | content    = Ambox content.png
   | style      = Edit-clear.svg
   | move       = Ambox move.png
   | protection = Ambox protection.png
   | notice          
   | #default   = Ambox notice.png
   }} | {{Expansion depth limit exceeded| left = 20x20px 
     | #default = 40x40px 
     }} |link=|alt=]]
 }}{{Expansion depth limit exceeded| left =
| #default =

Multiple quoting

Syntax Language(s)
