You can concatenate strings a number of ways   let a    Hello  let b    World   let first   a          b let second      a     b     You could also do   var c    Hello  c       World    I m sure there are more ways too   Bit of description  let creates a constant   sort of like an NSString   You can t change its value once you have set it  You can still add it to other things and create new variables though   var creates a variable   sort of like NSMutableString  so you can change the value of it  But this has been answered several times on Stack Overflow   see difference between let and var    Note  In reality let and var are very different from NSString and NSMutableString but it helps the analogy

From  Matt Neuburg Book    iOS 13 Programming Fundamentals with Swift        To combine  concatenate  two strings  the simplest approach is to use the   operator   let s    hello  let s2     world  let greeting   s   s2   This convenient notation is possible because the   operator is overloaded  it does one thing when the operands are numbers  numeric addition  and another when the operands are strings  concatenation   The   operator comes with a    assignment shortcut  naturally  the variable on the left side must have been declared with var   var s    hello  let s2     world  s    s2   As an alternative to     you can call the append     instance method   var s    hello  let s2     world  s append s2    Another way of concatenating strings is with the joined separator   method  You start with an array of strings to be concatenated  and hand it the string that is to be inserted between all of them   let s    hello  let s2    world  let space       let greeting    s s2  joined separator space

Concatenation refers to the combining of Strings in Swift  Strings may contain texts  integers  or even emojis  There are many ways to String Concatenation  Let me enumerate some  Same String Using    This is useful if we want to add to an already existing String  For this to work  our String should be mutable or can be modified  thus declaring it as a Variable  For  instance  var myClassmates    quot John  Jane quot  myClassmates     quot   Mark quot     add a new Classmate    Result   quot John  Jane  Mark quot   Different Strings If we want to combine different Strings together  for instance  let oldClassmates    quot John  Jane quot   let newClassmate    quot Mark quot   We can use any of the following  1  Using   let myClassmates   oldClassmates    quot    quot    newClassmate    Result   quot John  Jane  Mark quot   Notice that the each String may be a Variable or a Constant  Declare it as a Constant if you re only gonna change the value once  2  String Interpolation let myClassmates    quot   oldClassmates     newClassmate  quot     Result   quot John  Jane  Mark quot   3  Appending let myClassmates   oldClassmates appending newClassmate     Result   quot John  Jane  Mark quot   Refer to Strings  amp  Characters from the Swift Book for more  Update  Tested on Swift 5 1

Xcode didn t accept optional strings added with a normal string  I wrote this extensions to solve that problem   extension String       mutating func addString str  String            self   self   str           Then you can call it like   var str1  String  var str1    hi  var str2     my name is  str1 addString str2  println str1    hi my name is   However you could now also do something like this   var str1  String  var str1    hi  var str2     my name is  str1     str2
