Basic JavaScript: Concatenating Strings with Plus Operator

JavaScript
#1

var myStr = "This is the start." + "This is the end.";

Pulling my hair out with this,what am I doing wrong please.

here my understanding

  1. I have declared the variable myStr
  2. the value is simply 2 sentences added together
  3. I have put each sentence in “”

Thanks

I’ve edited your post for readability. In particular, I enclosed your code in single backticks, not single quote marks.

The instructions from the challenge…

Build myStr from the strings "This is the start. " and "This is the end." using the + operator.

Your code…

var myStr = "This is the start." + "This is the end.";

Do you see any differences?

#3

Spaces, my friend, spaces.
Will be the bane of your existence if you don’t consider them. Consider them and you will have much less difficulties in some challenges.

#4

im sorry I do have spaces, can you please be more specific,this is a bit cryptic.

Thanks

#5

If you concatenate 2 strings like "Hello" + "World" it will turn out "HelloWorld". You want to make sure that there is a space at the end of the first string.

#6

OK let me really get this into my thick skull…see my code

‘var myStr = "This is the start.’ + ‘This is the end.";’

There is DEFINITELY a space before and after the ‘+’ symbol.

#7

thanks for getting back to me but your answer is a little cryptic for me, are you able to rephrase please, this challenge is just getting the best of me.
Thanks

#8

"Hello. "

Where is the space in this string?

As an example, "one" + "two" will give onetwo.
"one " + "two" will give one two

#9

You don’t need spaces before and after the + symbol, it works anyway. Those are to make the code more tidy and easier to read
This is totally valid:

var myStr="This is the start."+"This is the end."

You are missing spaces inside the string. Right now it has value of This is the start.This is the end.
