c# string formatting

Question

I m curious why would i use string formatting while i can use concatenation such as

Console.WriteLine(\"Hello {0} !\", name);

Console.WriteLine(\"Hello \"+          


        

Answer 1

I think a good example is about i18n and l10n

If you have to change a string between different languages, this: "bla "+variable+"bla bla.." Will give problems to a program used to create sobstitution for your strings if you use a different language

while in this way: "bla {0} blabla" is easily convertible (you will get {0} as part of the string)
