Prompt Conversions

Prompt conversion applies only to the operands of the binary + operator when one of the arguments is a Prompt. In this special case only, the other argument to the + is converted to a Prompt as described in Table - Prompt Concatenation Conversion Result, and a new Prompt which is the concatenation of the two prompts is the result of the +.

The prompt concatenation operator +, which, when given a Prompt operand and an integral or floating-point operand, will convert the integral or floating -point operand to a Prompt representing its value in spoken form, and then produce a newly created Prompt that is the concatenation of the two prompts.

There is a prompt conversion to type Prompt from every other type, including the null type as described in Table - Prompt Concatenation Conversion Result. For the null type, the result is the empty prompt.
