+ Operator

Description

The sum of numeric values, the string concatenation or the sum of vector type data and joint type data elements are returned.

Either of the following types of operation is performed depending on argument combination.

Sum of numeric values

The sum of numeric values is returned when every argument is numeric data. It is returned by data type with higher argument priority.

Dim aaa As Integer, bbb As Single
aaa = 1000
bbb = 1234.567
PrintDbg aaa + bbb '2234.567 is output.

String concatenation

The result of argument string concatenation is returned when every argument is string type data.

Dim aaa As String, bbb As String
aaa = "DENSO"
bbb = "ROBOT"
PrintDbg aaa + " " + bbb '"DENSO ROBOT" is output.

Sum of vector type data components

The sum of vector type data elements is returned by vector type data, when every argument is vector type data.

When vector type data VecA: V(Xa, Ya, Za) and VecB: V(Xb, Yb, Zb) are given, the retrun value is

ResultVec: V(Xa + Xb, Ya + Yb, Za + Zb).

Dim aaa As Vector, bbb As Vector
aaa = V(100, 200, 300)
bbb = V(10, 10, 10)
PrintDbg aaa + bbb ' V(110, 210, 310) is output

Sum of joint type data components

The sum of elements is returned by joint type data when every argument is joint type data.

Joint type data JntA: J(Ax1a, Ax2a, Ax3a, Ax4a, Ax5a, Ax6a, Ax7a, Ax8a),
JntB: When J(Ax1b, Ax2b, Ax3b, Ax4b, Ax5b, Ax6b, Ax7b, Ax8b) is given, the return value is

ResultJnt: J(Ax1a + Ax1b , Ax2a + Ax2b, Ax3a + Ax3b, Ax4a + Ax4b, Ax5a + Ax5b, Ax6a + Ax6b, Ax7a + Ax7b, Ax8a + Ax8b).

Dim aaa As Joint, bbb As Joint
aaa = J(50, 100, 150, 200, 250, 300, 350, 400)
bbb = J(11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
PrintDbg aaa + bbb ' J(61, 112, 163, 214, 265, 316, 367, 418) is output
