✐ Examples

1 Using concat() method with no arguments

In JavaScript, if no arguments are provided to the concat() method, it returns the original string.

For example,

  1. We define a string variable str with the value 'Hello'.
  2. We use the concat() method with no arguments.
  3. The result is stored in the variable newStr.
  4. We log newStr to the console using the console.log() method.

JavaScript Program

const str = 'Hello';
const newStr = str.concat();
console.log(newStr);

Output

Hello

2 Using concat() method with one argument

In JavaScript, we can use the concat() method to concatenate one string to the original string.

For example,

  1. We define a string variable str with the value 'Hello'.
  2. We use the concat() method with the argument ' World'.
  3. The result is stored in the variable newStr.
  4. We log newStr to the console using the console.log() method.

JavaScript Program

const str = 'Hello';
const newStr = str.concat(' World');
console.log(newStr);

Output

Hello World

3 Using concat() method with multiple arguments

In JavaScript, we can use the concat() method to concatenate multiple strings to the original string.

For example,

  1. We define a string variable str with the value 'Hello'.
  2. We use the concat() method with the arguments ' and' and ' welcome'.
  3. The result is stored in the variable newStr.
  4. We log newStr to the console using the console.log() method.

JavaScript Program

const str = 'Hello';
const newStr = str.concat(' and', ' welcome');
console.log(newStr);

Output

Hello and welcome
