Konkatenáció

Konkatenáció is a term originating from linguistics and computer science, referring to the operation of joining two or more sequences end-to-end. In simpler terms, it is the process of concatenating or linking things together in a specific order.

In linguistics, konkatenáció often describes the formation of words or phrases by combining smaller units. For instance, a compound word like "sunflower" is formed by the konkatenáció of "sun" and "flower." Similarly, sentences can be seen as the konkatenáció of words and phrases.

In computer programming, konkatenáció is a fundamental operation for manipulating strings. When two strings are concatenated, a new string is created that contains the characters of the first string followed immediately by the characters of the second string. For example, concatenating the string "hello" with the string "world" results in the string "helloworld." This operation is essential for tasks such as building output messages, processing text data, and constructing file paths. Many programming languages provide specific operators or functions to perform string konkatenáció, often denoted by symbols like `+` or `||`. The concept can also extend beyond strings to other data structures like lists or arrays, where elements are joined sequentially.
