+# concat
+
+> Concatenate two strings.
+
+
+
+
+
+

+var concat = require( '@stdlib/string/base/concat' );
+```
+
+#### concat( str1 , str2 )
+
+Concats two string.

+
+## Examples
+
+
+
+```javascript
+var concat = require( '@stdlib/string/base/concat' );
+
+var str = concat( 'hello', 'World' );
+console.log( str );
+// => 'helloWorld'
+
+str = concat( 'foo', 'bar' );
+console.log( str );
+// => 'foobar'
+
+str = concat( '$**_Beep_', 'BoOp_**$' );
+console.log( str );
+// => '$**_Beep_BoOp_**$'
+
+str = concat( '', 'empty' );
+console.log( str );
+// => 'empty'
