4. Strings and the Operator +

• Operator + concatenates two strings or a string and a numeric value or character:

  
  	"The sum = " + 12 + 26
  
  

• After this statement the text assigned to the str becomes:

  
  	"The sum = 1226";
  
  

• Is this what you want? Maybe the intent was

  
      "The sum = " + (12 + 26)
  
  

  which yields

  
      "The sum = 38"
