How do I put a value in text?

Asked Oct 8, 2014252 views1 answers

I know in Python you can do (example)

print ("The amount of seconds is:", seconds) -- and it will print The amount of seconds is: and then the value of seconds.

I have seen it been done in Lua before too using .. something .. I think but I can't remember. Thanks

The literal name of joining values to create a string is called string concatenation. Just wanted to put that out there.
