Great! Now you know how to store text in a variable. Now let's consider how we can operate with such variables.

First, let's consider the concatenation. This operation simply connects two strings into one. To concatenate two strings in Python, use the `+` operator (like in number addition).

> Note that concatenation will not make additional blank spaces between addends.

For example, we can 'connect' words with the article.

# Article and word
article = "The"
country = "Netherlands"
# Output result of the concatenations
print(article + country)
print(article + " " + country) # Add blank space between

What will the following code return after execution?

In the first section, you will be introduced to the very basics of Python - how to interact with Python, perform simple operations, and output results.

In the past section, you performed different operations with numbers. In this section, you will learn how to save values in computer memory and be able to use them in the future for any purpose.

During the last two sections, you mostly worked with numerical data. In the third section, you will learn how to work with textual data in Python (strings), how to manipulate such data, what methods can be applied to them, and so on.
