String Operations

Extend String

A string can be extended by using the + operator on two strings.

var str = "ext"
var str = str + "end"

In the example above the string "ext" is extended with "end", resulting in "extend"

Repeat String

A string can be repeated with the * operator. You're essentially multiplying the string by a given amount

var str = "repeat"
var str = str * 3

In the example above the string "repeat" is repeated 3 times, resulting in "repeatrepeatrepeat"
