How to concatenate two numbers in javascript?

Question

I\'d like for something like 5 + 6 to return \"56\" instead of 11.

Answer 1

You can now make use of ES6 template literals.

const numbersAsString = `${5}${6}`;
console.log(numbersAsString); // Outputs 56

Or, if you have variables:

const someNumber = 5;
const someOtherNumber = 6;
const numbersAsString = `${someNumber}${someOtherNumber}`;

console.log(numbersAsString); // Outputs 56

Personally I find the new syntax much clearer, albeit slightly more verbose.
