The symbol + (pronounced “plus”) is used to:
- explicitly indicate the positive sign of a number,
- add two numbers resulting to a number,
- form a union of sets,
- (FPC) concatenate two strings (or characters; except
pchar). - if
{$modeSwitch arrayOperators+}(default in{$mode Delphi}), concatenate arrays (as of 2019-04-14 in a future release version) - enable a feature in a
{$modeSwitch}

4 x: longint;
5 g: set of (foo, bar);
6 m: string;
7begin
8 // unary operator: positive sign
9 x := +7; // x becomes positive 7
10 x := +$100; // x becomes 256
11 // (dollar sign denotes hexadecimal base)
12
13 // addition
14 x := 7 + 7; // x becomes 14
15 x := 7 + 7 + 7 + 7 + 7 + 7; // x becomes 42
16
17 // union of sets
18 g := [foo] + [bar]; // g becomes [foo, bar]
19
20 // concatenation of strings and/or characters (FPC/Delphi extension)
21 m := 'Hello ' + 'world!'; // m becomes 'Hello world!'
22end.
The plus sign is also a unary operator.
One can write such stupid expressions as ++++++++++++++42 which will evaluate to positive 42.
In ASCII, the character code decimal 43 (or hexadecimal 2B) is defined to be + (plus sign).
