title: Concatenating Strings with the Plus Equals Operator

# --description--
We can also use the `+=` operator to <dfn>concatenate</dfn> a string onto the end of an existing string variable. This can be very helpful to break a long string over several lines.
**Note:** Watch out for spaces. Concatenation does not add spaces between concatenated strings, so you'll need to add them yourself.
Example:
```js
let ourStr = "I come first. ";
ourStr += "I come second.";
```
`ourStr` now has a value of the string `I come first. I come second.`.
# --instructions--
Build `myStr` over several lines by concatenating these two strings: `This is the first sentence.` and `This is the second sentence.` using the `+=` operator. Use the `+=` operator similar to how it is shown in the example and be sure to include a space between the two strings. Start by assigning the first string to `myStr`, then add on the second string.
# --hints--
`myStr` should have a single space character between the two strings.
```js
assert(/sentence\. This/.test(myStr));
```
`myStr` should have a value of the string `This is the first sentence. This is the second sentence.`
```js
assert(myStr === 'This is the first sentence. This is the second sentence.');
```
You should use the `+=` operator to build `myStr`.
```js
assert(__helpers.removeJSComments(code).match(/myStr\s*\+=\s*(["']).*\1/g));
```
# --seed--
## --seed-contents--
```js
let myStr;
```
# --solutions--
```js
let myStr = "This is the first sentence. ";
myStr += "This is the second sentence.";
```
