The **`CONCAT()`** function is used to concatenate *n* number of arguments. 

The illustration below shows how the `CONCAT()` function works.

# Syntax
```sql
CONCAT(arg1, arg2, .... argn)
```
# Parameter
The `CONCAT()` function takes in *n* number of arguments as a parameter. 

# Return value
The `CONCAT()` function returns the `single string` concatenating the arguments sent as parameter.  

# Example

Students

select *, CONCAT(studentFirstName,' ',studentLastName) as studentFullName
from Students

## Another example
This example explains some other implementations of the `CONCAT()` function.

SELECT CONCAT(9,10,100);

-- concat the number and string
SELECT CONCAT('Educative', 10);
