String Combination (Concatenation)
Appends the second input to the end of the first input. Then returns the resulting String. Inputs can either be user input (direct characters) or variables that are the String data type.
Example: "abc" join "def" will return "acbdef"

String to Number Datatype
Converts the String input (user input or String variable) into a numeric data type (Integer or Float) and returns it.
- toInt - Converts the input String into an Integer (int) data type.
- toFloat - Converts the input String into a Float (float) data type.
Example 1: [toInt "7.11"] returns 7 of int data type.
Example 2: [toFloat "7.11"] returns 7.11 of float data type
Note: Did you know that in the examples above that "7.11" is of data type String? Which is just a sequence of characters( 7, ., 1, 1).

Numberic Datatype to String
Converts the input number to a String and returns it. Input can be a user value or in a numeric data type (int, float, double) variable.

String Length
Returns the length (number of characters) of the input String. Input can either be a direct user String or a variable that is a String.
Example 1: [length of "hello"] will return 5.
Example 2: var is a String variable that contains "6chars". [length of var] will return 6.
