== The awk programming language does not have an explicit concatenation operator == The awk programming language does not have an explicit concatenation operator. Concatenation of [[string]]s in awk is achieved by placing strings next to each other within an [[expression]]. Note that [[whitspace]] is allowed between the [[value]]s: {{{ awk BEGIN { name = "Bob" print "Hello " name } }}} === Numeric values will be concatenated as strings === Note that concatenation of [[numeric]] values will occur if [[whitespace]] is used between them: {{{ awk # This will output 234 BEGIN { print 2 3 4 } }}} === Precedence === Note that [[concatenation]] has a lower [[precedence]] than [[addition]], so unexpected results may occur, if numeric [[value]]s are represented this way within an [[expression]]: {{{ awk # This will not produce a result of 358 BEGIN { print 2 3 4 + 1 2 3 # This actually produces 23523 } }}}
