String assignment

String assignments work exactly in the same way as any other variable type. It is possible to assign a string to another string or a character array to a string:

Examples:

string name, address;

address="Ocean St";

name=address;

Comparisons

It is possible to compare two strings or to compare a string with a character array. Comparisons work the same way as they do with numeric variables.

Examples:

string client,salesperson;

client="Siek";

salesperson="Jen";

if(client==salesperson) ...

if(client =="Siek") ...

Comparisons for < or > take into account the alphabetic order of the characters in the string.

Concatenation

Concatenation means that you want to add a string to the end of another string. For example:

string firstname,lastname,fullname;

firstname=ask("your first name?");

lastname=ask("your last name?");

fullname=firstname+" "+lastname;

As illustrated above, you may "add" strings and character arrays to another string.
