Concatenate strings in Arduino
String concatenation in Arduino is quite straightforward and also robust. You simply use the + operator to join strings. However, it doesn't end with joining two strings. You can concatenate characters, and even integers and floats to strings (Arduino converts the integers and floating-point numbers to string internally). Examples can be seen in the below code.
Example
void setup() { Serial.begin(9600); Serial.println(); // put your setup code here, to run once: String s1 = "Hello "; String s2 = "Bond!"; String s3 = s1 + s2; Serial.println(s3); s3 = s1 + 7; Serial.println(s3); s3 = s1 + 'J'; Serial.println(s3); s3 = s1 + 0.07; Serial.println(s3); s3 = s1 + millis(); Serial.println(s3); s3 = s1 + s2 + ", James Bond!"; Serial.println(s3); } void loop() { // put your main code here, to run repeatedly: }
The output of this code is shown below −
Output
As you can see, we've successfully concatenated a string with another string, a character, an integer and even a floating-point number.
What this means that we can also concatenate the string with a function that outputs either a string, a character, an integer, or a floating-point number. We showed that by concatenating a string with the millis() function. Also, more than 2 strings can be concatenated in one statement, as shown by the last example in the above code.
