Comprehending these new terms around coding has certainly been a learning curve for me. Coding and programming is not something I have had experience with in the past. Concatenation? Arithmetic Operators? Outside of coding I don\u2019t know if I would have ever heard these terms. Concatenation was a term that I had a difficult time understanding, but initially hearing the word is a lot scarier than what it means. To fully understand it, you must first learn that a String in Java is. A string is simply a sequence of characters! For example: \u201cRobert\u201d is a string and R O B E R T are the sequence of characters within that string. Once you are familiar with what a string is, you can then move to grasp Concatenation. Simply put, concatenation is joining two strings together. For example: \u201cRobert\u201d (first string) \u201cDiBrino\u201d (second string), when these two strings are joined together, \u201cRobert\u201d + \u201c DiBrino\u201d, you create a concatenation. To add to that, we have also used the (+) symbol, which is an arithmetic operator. The plus sign is an example of one of the operators that we have covered so far in this course but other operators consist of (-), (\/), (*), (%). Taking time to understand the different aspects one by one and how they all work together to create a code, is vital to understanding programming as a whole.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
