Hi,
is there a way to pass a string contaning a questions answer to an ES function without using join()? Something like string concatenation in php "Hello $name!"

like this, where Q007 is a question of type Equation:
    {someESfunction(param1, "Your result is: Q007 points.")}
instead of  
    {someESfunction(param1, join("Your result is: ", Q007, " points."))}

Thanks in advance!

Hi,
of course you can use the "+" operator
"Your result is: "+Q007+" points."

But as you see in the manual

For consistency between JavaScript and PHP, the plus operator (+) does addition if both operands are numeric, but does concatenation if both parts are non-numeric strings. However, we recommend using the "join()" function for concatenation, as that makes your intent more clear. It also avoids unexpected results if you were expecting strings but got numbers instead (or vice versa).

Anyway: What's the reason for this?
As I understand you are going to develop a new function with two parameters, the "param1" and this text?

Thanks 4 your reply!
The only reason for my question is a better readability of the ES. Cause I created an own ES function via plugin and the parameter (holding a query for a preset datatable) may become a little long. So readability would help
