JavaScript - String concat() method example
6 points
Concat method is used to join two or more strings in JavaScript. The method appends passed arguments to right side of string.
xxxxxxxxxx1
var a = 'abc';2
var b = '123';3
4
console.log( a.concat() ); // abc5
console.log( a.concat(b) ); // abc1236
console.log( b.concat(a) ); // 123abc| Syntax | String.prototype.concat([string2[, string3[, ..., stringN]]]) |
| Parameters | string2...stringN - optional string type agruments (primitive value). |
| Result |
Combining the string on which the function was called and arguments of the string type (primitive values). Further arguments to the function are appended on the right. If no arguments passed it returns same string. |
| Description | concat takes zero or more arguments and returns containing the text of the combined strings. |
Note: it is strongly recommended to use
+=operator insteadconcat()method to get better peformance of operations.

var text = '_abc';2

text += '_123';4
text += '_ABC';5

console.log(text);In this section presented program execution time depends of JavaScript implementation.
