String Appending Operators

Just as you can concatenate Strings with other data objects using the StringAdditionOperator, you can also use the += operator and the concat() method to append things to Strings. The += operator and the concat() method work the same way, it's just a matter of which style you prefer. The two examples below illustrate both, and result in the same String:

String stringOne = "A long integer: ";

  // using += to add a long variable to a string:
  stringOne += 123456789;

or

  String stringTwo = "A long integer: ";

  // using concat() to add a long variable to a string:
  stringTwo.concat(123456789);

In both cases, stringOne equals "A long integer: 123456789". Like the + operator, these operators are handy for assembling longer strings from a combination of data objects.

Step 1: What You Need?

1 x Arduino Board ( Arduino UNO R3 used in this tutorial.)
1 x USB Type-B Cable 


Optional 

Arduino Uno R3 Acrylic Transparent Casing

Arduino Compatible UNO Ultimate Starter Kit / Learning Kit

Don't have components? Don't worry. Just click the component's name. 

Step 2: Build Your Circuit.

There is no circuit for this example, though your board must be connected to your computer via USB and the serial monitor window of the Arduino Software (IDE) should be open.

Step 3: Upload The Code.

1. Select the Arduino board type: Select Tools >> Board >> Select your correct Arduino board used.

2. Find the port number by accessing device manager on Windows. See the section Port (COM&LPT) and look for an open port named "Arduino Uno (COMxx)". If you are using a different board, you will find a name accordingly. What matters is the xx in COMxx part. In my case, it's COM3. So my port number is 3.

Select the right port: Tools >> Port >> Select the port number.

3. You can find this code in the example of Arduino IDE.

Select File >> Examples >> 08. Strings >> StringAppendOperator

Click press the "upload" button (see the button with right arrow mark).
