diff betwn "&" and "+" for cancatenation - learner1 - 12-16-2009
do these both character ("&" and "+" ) serve the same pupose of concatenation
i tried concatenation of 2 strings using both above chars it was workin fine then wat could be the differences
RE: diff betwn "&" and "+" for cancatenation - Ankur - 12-16-2009
Both can do the string concatenation, while + can also be used to add numeric values.
Just to eliminate confusion, try to use "&" when concatenating two strings.

thanks for the reply
to add a note :
In case of "+"
if both are numeric then it will add
if both are string then it will concatenate
if numeric +string then type mismatch
In case of "&"
if both are numeric then it will concatenate
if both are string then it will concatenate
if numeric +string then also concatenate
HERE ALL ARE Cases have concatenation
