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)
01 | script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:connect(function(buy) |
02 | local view = script.Parent.Parent.Parent.SUMA.P12.Text |
03 |
04 | if view == 0 then |
05 | wait(1) -- just nothing |
06 | elseif view > 0 then |
07 | -- there i need that function so to add a digit in text |
08 |
09 | wait(1) |
10 | end |
11 |
12 | 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:
1 | local str = "Concat" |
2 |
3 | print(str .. "enation") -- Prints "Concatenation" |

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