Would it not be possible to simply add a space within the quotation marks at the end of the sentence?

UPDATE: Now that I've seen the function in question, yes, you could just add a space to every question string passed to the function. But since the "Ask" function might be used many times in the program, it makes sense to add on a space there. A more sophisticated version might even test the last character of the argument string, and add a space on only when the last character was not already a space.

2,075 PointsIts in ref to the first sentence that is adjusted for the users answer. A simple " " was added to the end of a sentence.
I understand explaining the concept for including that in an additional entry being included but wasnt sure if i missed why a sentence couldnt just be expanded in the case of the first example,
Its more to understand, if having spacing at the end of a question causes problems down the line id like to avoid xD

string entry = Ask("How many cans are you ordering?"); - This statement
