How have a string perform like Java?

Asked Feb 25, 2020349 views1 answers

In Java you can have:

String name = "myNameis";
String myString = name + "myName";

How do have the plus sign (demonstrated above) in Lua

Do myString = name.."myName"

✓ Accepted answer

The concatenation operator in Lua is .., unlike other languages such as Java, Python, etc.

So it would be name .. "myName".

If you really want to use +, you can overload the + operator to do so.

getmetatable("").__add = function(a, b)
	return a .. b
end

This will NOT work on Roblox.
