String.Concat Method

Definition

Concatenates one or more instances of String, or the String representations of the values of one or more instances of Object.

Overloads

Concat(String, String, String, String)

Concatenates four specified instances of String.

Concat(ReadOnlySpan<Char>, ReadOnlySpan<Char>, ReadOnlySpan<Char>, ReadOnlySpan<Char>)

Concatenates the string representations of four specified read-only character spans.

Concat(Object, Object, Object, Object)

Concatenates the string representations of four specified objects and any objects specified in an optional variable length parameter list.

Concat(String, String, String)

Concatenates three specified instances of String.

Concat(ReadOnlySpan<Char>, ReadOnlySpan<Char>, ReadOnlySpan<Char>)

Concatenates the string representations of three specified read-only character spans.

Concat(Object, Object, Object)

Concatenates the string representations of three specified objects.

Concat(String, String)

Concatenates two specified instances of String.

Concat(Object)

Creates the string representation of a specified object.

Concat(Object, Object)

Concatenates the string representations of two specified objects.

Concat(String[])

Concatenates the elements of a specified String array.

Concat(ReadOnlySpan<String>)

Concatenates the elements of a specified span of String.

Concat(ReadOnlySpan<Object>)

Concatenates the string representations of the elements in a specified span of objects.

Concat(Object[])

Concatenates the string representations of the elements in a specified Object array.

Concat(IEnumerable<String>)

Concatenates the members of a constructed IEnumerable<T> collection of type String.

Concat(ReadOnlySpan<Char>, ReadOnlySpan<Char>)

Concatenates the string representations of two specified read-only character spans.

Concat<T>(IEnumerable<T>)

Concatenates the members of an IEnumerable<T> implementation.

Remarks

Note

You can also use your language's string concatenation operator, such as + in C# and F#, or & and + in Visual Basic, to concatenate strings. Both compilers translate the concatenation operator into a call to one of the overloads of String.Concat.

Examples

The following example defines an array of four-letter words and stores their individual letters to a string array in order to scramble them. It then calls the Concat(String, String, String, String) method to reassemble the scrambled words.

using System;
using System.Collections;

public class Example

      string[] words = { "home", "food", "game", "rest" };
      // Define two arrays equal to the number of letters in each word.
      double[] keys = new double[WORD_SIZE];
      string[] letters = new string[WORD_SIZE];
      // Initialize the random number generator.
      Random rnd = new Random();
      
      // Scramble each word.
      foreach (string word in words)
      {
         for (int ctr = 0; ctr < word.Length; ctr++)
         {
            // Populate the array of keys with random numbers.
            keys[ctr] = rnd.NextDouble();
            // Assign a letter to the array of letters.
            letters[ctr] = word[ctr].ToString();
         }   
         // Sort the array. 
         Array.Sort(keys, letters, 0, WORD_SIZE, Comparer.Default);

      }

Remarks

Note

This API is not CLS-compliant. The CLS-compliant alternative is String.Concat(Object[]). The C# and Visual Basic compilers automatically resolve a call to this method as a call to String.Concat(Object[]).

The method concatenates each object in the parameter list by calling its parameterless ToString method; it does not add any delimiters.

String.Empty is used in place of any null argument.

Note

The last parameter of the Concat method is an optional comma-delimited list of one or more additional objects to concatenate.

Notes to Callers

This method is marked with the vararg keyword, which means that it supports a variable number of parameters. The method can be called from Visual C++, but it cannot be called from C# or Visual Basic code. The C# and Visual Basic compilers resolve calls to Concat(Object, Object, Object, Object) as calls to Concat(Object[]).

Remarks

The method concatenates each object in args by calling the parameterless ToString method of that object; it does not add any delimiters.

String.Empty is used in place of any null object in the array.

Notes to Callers

This method is not called by C++ code. The C++ compiler resolves calls to Concat that have four or more object parameters as a call to Concat(Object, Object, Object, Object).

Examples

The following example uses the Sieve of Eratosthenes algorithm to calculate the prime numbers that are less than or equal to 100. It assigns the result to a List<T> object of type String, which it then passes to the Concat(IEnumerable<String>) method.

Remarks

The method concatenates each object in values; it does not add any delimiters. To specify a delimiter between each member of values, call the Join(String, IEnumerable<String>) method.

An Empty string is used in place of any null element in values.

If values is an empty IEnumerable(Of String), the method returns String.Empty. If values is null, the method throws an ArgumentNullException exception.

Concat(IEnumerable<String>) is a convenience method that lets you concatenate each element in an IEnumerable(Of String) collection without first converting the elements to a string array. It is particularly useful with Language-Integrated Query (LINQ) query expressions. The following example passes a List(Of String) object that contains either the uppercase or lowercase letters of the alphabet to a lambda expression that selects letters that are equal to or greater than a particular letter (which, in the example, is "M"). The IEnumerable(Of String) collection that is returned by the Enumerable.Where method is passed to the Concat(IEnumerable<String>) method to display the result as a single string.

using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;

public class Example
{
   public static void Main()
   {
      string output = String.Concat( GetAlphabet(true).Where( letter => 
                      letter.CompareTo("M") >= 0));
      Console.WriteLine(output);  
   }

Examples

The following example defines a very simple Animal class that contains the name of an animal and the order to which it belongs. It then defines a List<T> object to contain a number of Animal objects. The Enumerable.Where extension method is called to extract the Animal objects whose Order property equals "Rodent". The result is passed to the Concat<T>(IEnumerable<T>) method and displayed to the console.
