Are you ready to delve deeper into Scala's constructs? Today, we're focusing on string concatenation and interpolation. These operations form the backbone of string manipulation in Scala. We'll start from the basics and work our way up to practical applications. Ready to dive in? Let's start!

As in natural languages where words combine to form sentences, in Scala, smaller strings can be concatenated to form larger strings. You can use + for this purpose. Let's see this operation in action:

While concatenation merges whole strings, interpolation embeds values or variables into strings. Scala makes this a breeze with the s string interpolator:

Scala also allows expressions within interpolated strings:

Sometimes, you may need to include special characters in your strings that have particular meanings in Scala. For instance, the double quote or the backslash . In order to use these characters as string content, you need to them with the backslash :
