Gluing Words Together 🧩
Hi again, super coder! 🌟 Today we join words together.
We use a magic plus sign + to stick strings side by side! ✨
console.log("Hello" + "World")The Plus Sign Glue ➕
When you put + between two strings, they become ONE string!
"sun" + "flower" makes "sunflower" 🌻
console.log("sun" + "flower")Adding a Space 🫧
Uh oh! "Hello" + "World" makes HelloWorld all stuck together.
Add a space string " " to fix it! 😄
console.log("Hello" + " " + "World")Joining Names 🧒🧒
Let us glue a greeting and a name together!
We say "Hi, " then add the name. So friendly! 👋
console.log("Hi, " + "Lily")Using Boxes 📦
We can join boxes (variables) too!
Put words in boxes, then glue the boxes. 🪄
let pet = "dog"
let sound = "woof"
console.log(pet + " says " + sound)Building a Sentence 🏗️
You can join LOTS of pieces to build a whole sentence!
Each + adds another piece. 🧱
console.log("I" + " have " + "3" + " cats")Joining a Name and a Smile 😊
Try gluing a name with a fun word at the end!
Make a happy message. 💛
let name = "Max"
console.log(name + " is awesome!")Numbers and Strings 🔢
When you join a number to a string with +, the number becomes text!
"Age: " + 8 makes "Age: 8" 🎂
console.log("Age: " + 8)The Order Matters 🔀
The order you glue words changes the result!
"cup" + "cake" is yummy, but "cake" + "cup" is silly! 🧁
console.log("cup" + "cake")Make a Robot Talk 🤖
Let us make a robot say hello to a friend by joining strings!
Beep boop! 🤖
let friend = "Zoe"
console.log("BEEP! Hello " + friend + " BOOP!")Your Turn to Glue 🖍️
Join three pieces to make your own sentence!
Change the words and have fun. 🎨
console.log("My " + "favorite " + "color is blue")Quick Check ✅
