We already know about the mathematical operation of addition. Such a program:
System.out.print(5 + 3);
will display 8
- the result of the binary operator +
with the operands 5
and 3
.
Above the strings defined their operations. You can "fold" two lines. Such a program:
System.out.print("Dragon" + "stone");
will display Dragonstone
- the result of the binary operator +
with the 'Dragon' and 'stone' operands.
This operation is called concatenation. Roughly speaking, this is the "gluing" of the lines. Gluing always happens in the same order in which the operands are written, in other words, the left operand becomes the left part of the string, and the right operand becomes the left.
Here are some more examples:
System.out.print("Kings" + "wood"); // => Kingswood
System.out.print("Kings" + "road"); // => Kingsroad
System.out.print("King's" + "Landing"); // => King'sLanding
In the last example, the name of the city turned out to be with an error: King's Landing must be written with a space! But there were no spaces in our initial lines, and the spaces in the code to the left and right of the +
character do not matter, because they are not part of the lines.
Let's try to solve this problem in different ways:
System.out.print("King's " + "Landing"); // => King's Landing
System.out.print("King's" + " Landing"); // => King's Landing
System.out.print("King's" + " " + "Landing"); // => King's Landing
A space is the same character as the others, therefore, how many spaces to put in a line will be as much:
System.out.print("King's " + " Landing"); // => King's Landing
System.out.print("King's " + " Landing"); // => King's Landing

using concatenation of words. Each word must be represented in a separate line. Do not forget about the spaces.
If you've reached a deadlock it's time to ask your question in the «Discussions». How ask a question correctly:
Tests are designed so that they test the solution in different ways and against different data. Often the solution works with one kind of input data but doesn't work with others. Check the «Tests» tab to figure this out, you can find hints at the error output.
It's fine. 🙆 One task in programming can be solved in many different ways. If your code passed all tests, it complies with the task conditions.
In some rare cases, the solution may be adjusted to the tests, but this can be seen immediately.
It's hard to make educational materials that will suit everyone. We do our best but there is always something to improve. If you see a material that is not clear to you, describe the problem in “Discussions”. It will be great if you'll write unclear points in the question form. Usually, we need a few days for corrections.
By the way, you can participate in courses improvement. There is a link below to the lessons course code which you can edit right in your browser.
