String Concatenation

lesson_16.py
>>> ## Concept String concatenation is the process of joining two or more strings together. In Python, you can use the `+` operator to accomplish this. This is a very handy feature when you want to print messages or combine data in your programs. Here’s a simple example: ```python first_name = "John" last_name = "Doe" full_name = first_name + " " + last_name print(full_name) ``` In this example, the variable `full_name` will hold the combined value "John Doe". Notice how a space is added between the first and last names by using " ". You can use the `+` operator to combine any number of strings, just make sure each string is surrounded by quotation marks. ## Practice For this exercise, you need to practice string concatenation by modifying the starter code. Create two string variables: `name` with the value "Alice" and `greeting` with the value "Hi". Then, use the `+` operator to combine these strings with a space in between and output the result. Here’s how you can get started: ```python # Your code here name = "" greeting = "" ``` To pass the test, ensure that your program prints "Hi Alice" exactly, including the space between the words.
