How to add a digit to text value? dont do math SOLVED
I want to add a digit to a textbox/stringvalue. I mean I don't want to do math like 1+1=2 but just get the current number like 1 and add to it 1 so the script would change text value to 11 (Yes, I didn't know the concatenation)
script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:connect(function(buy)
local view = script.Parent.Parent.Parent.SUMA.P12.Text
if view == 0 then
wait(1) -- just nothing
elseif view > 0 then
-- there i need that function so to add a digit in text
wait(1)
end
end)
Well, I'm new to Lua programming.

What you're trying to do is called concatenation. The concatenation operator in Lua is .. here's an example of its use:
local str = "Concat" print(str .. "enation") -- Prints "Concatenation"

You could do x * 10 + y, this would effectively add a digit to your value.
function addDigit(x,y)
return x * 10 + y
end
print(addDigit(5,7))
print(addDigit(234,8))
Output:
57
2348
