# The + operator can be used to concatenate two different strings.
x = "hello "
y = "world!"
# Concatenate two strings
print(x + y)
# OUTPUT: hello world!

# concatenating strings just means combining strings together
# it is used to add one string to the end of another
# below are two exmaples of how concatenation can be used
# to output 'Hello World':
# example 1:
hello_world = "Hello" + " World"
print(hello_world)
>>> Hello World
# example 2:
hello = "Hello"
print(hello + " World")
>>> Hello World
# use {}, where u want to place integer, or any other datatype.
# Use .formate at the end of string,
# and finally place data variable in parentheses
a = 123.1133
b = "Username"
c = True
print("a = {}".format(a))
print("b = {}".format(b))
print("c = {}".format(c))

# This code snippet takes a string input and append suffixes based on a number of conditions
# Condtion:
# 1 if the lenght of the string is grater than 3 characters and is not already
# ended with "ing" then add suffix "ing"
# 2 else if the lenght of the string is grater than 3 then add suffix "ly"
#
# The code snippet can be improved to include more business conditions.
