Hello Thomas,

You are correct, the + operator (AKA concat) between the two strings you wish to concatenate.

For example:

print "You can concatenate two " + "strings with the '+' operator."

str1 = "Hello"
str2 = "World"
str1 + str 2     #=> outputs "HelloWorld"

Here is a link for more examples.

Cheers,

Jacob

What you're looking for is called concatenation.

For example:

string1 = 'Hello '
string2 = 'World'

greeting = string1 + string2

print(greeting) # prints out 'Hello World'
