name = "foo"
print(name)
>>> foo
print(name + " bar")
>>> foo bar
print(name)
>>>foo
name += " bar"
print(name)
>>>foo bar

So to concatenation of string you use the operator "+" but the variable will not keep the last concatenated string if you want the variable to keep the string from concatenation you should use : variable += string
