+

The + plus mathematical operator performs addition on two numerical values or concatenate STRING values.

Syntax

return_value = number1 + number2

Description

• A + sign also can indicate a positive numerical value, but it is not required.
• Numbers used can be any literal or variable numerical value type.
• Adding one negative value will actually perform subtraction on the other value.
• Adding two negative values will make the return value more negative.
• Addition and subtraction are the last operations performed in QBasic's normal order of operations.
• The plus(+) operator can also be used to add (concatenate) literal or variable STRING values.
• PRINT can also use + operations on string values ONLY! Numerical values will need to be converted to strings first or be included using semicolons or commas instead.
