Built-in operators

VMware Smart Assurance NOTIF includes the following operators for use in scripting:

• str1 + str2 — Returns the concatenation of str1 and str2.

  "abc" + "def" ---> "abcdef"

• number1 + number2 — Returns the sum of the two numbers.

  123 + 456 ---> "579"

  Note:

  The script evaluation of VMware Smart Assurance NOTIF is string-based. VMware Smart Assurance NOTIF examines the two operands and, if both are legal numbers, it sums them. Otherwise, the two strings are concatenated. To ensure a concatenation regardless of string content, use the concat() function described.

• number1 * number2 — Returns the product of the two numbers.

  3 * 4 ---> "12"
