[!note] String Concatenation
The + operator, when used with two strings, combines them into a single new string — this is called string concatenation.

[!example] Examples

'Alice' + 'Bob'           # AliceBob
'Alice' + 42              # TypeError: can only concatenate str (not 'int') to str
'Alice' + str(42)         # Alice42
'Alice' * 5               # AliceAliceAliceAliceAlice

name = "Al"
print("It is good to meet you, " + name)  # It is good to meet you, Al

[!important] Best Practices

• Ensure both operands are strings before using +
• Prefer f-strings or format() for cleaner code when mixing types

f"Alice{42}" # Alice42
