appending letters onto a variable

If I set the variable message equal to a string like “test”, is there a way to add letters on to the variable? To actually change the value of the variable to, for instance, “testa”?

Thank you for any ideas!

you cant concanate a string like this in scratch. The + operator is really only for numbers (int/float whatever) you will need this block to concanate a string for example

(join [(variable)] [some text here])

you are from using python arent you using the .append() . Welcome to Scratch!

That's exactly what I wanted! Thank you! Yes, I have been learning Python and have been “appending” a lot!
