MATLAB - String Handling
The following MATLAB code is intended to concatenate 'Hi' and 'There' but causes an error. What is the error and how to fix it?
str1 = 'Hi';
str2 = 'There';
result = str1 + str2;
disp(result);
ANo error, output is 'HiThere'
BError: Use strcat function instead of +
CError: Use & operator instead of +
DError: Use square brackets [ ] instead of + for concatenation
Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:
  1. Step 1: Identify the cause of error

    Using + operator between strings in MATLAB causes an error because + is not defined for character arrays.
  2. Step 2: Correct the concatenation method

    Replace + with square brackets [ ] to join strings: result = [str1 str2];
  3. Final Answer:

    Error: Use square brackets [ ] instead of + for concatenation -> Option D
  4. Quick Check:

    Concatenate strings with [ ], not + [OK]
Quick Trick: Replace + with [ ] to fix string concatenation error [OK]
Common Mistakes:
  • Using + operator for strings
  • Trying to use & operator
  • Assuming strcat always fixes + errors
