The append() method adds a string value to another existing string.

// Output: SwiftProgramming

append() Syntax

The syntax of the string append() method is:

string.append(str: String)

Here, string is an object of the String class.

append() Parameters

The append() method takes a single parameter.

  • str - string to be joined to string

append() Return Value

  • returns the appended string.

Using + Operator to Append

In Swift, we can also use the + operator to append two strings. For example,

var greet2 = "Good Morning"


// use + operator to append 
print(greet1 + greet2)
