Lua - How to print 2 things in one print statement

In python you are able to print 2 things by using one statement by typing

print("Hello" + " World")

Output would be "Hello world"

So is there a simple to do this again in Lua?

I'm trying to make the statement print the percentage and the percentage sign. This is currently what I have

function update()
    local hp = crysHu.Health/ crysHu.MaxHealth
    local text = script.Parent.TextLabel
    healthBar:TweenSize(UDim2.new(hp,0,1,0),"In","Linear",1)
    text.Text = math.floor(hp*100)
end

text.Text = math.floor(hp*100) is the part that I need help with FYI.

doing text.Text = (math.floor(hp*100) + "%") doesn't work.

If you're doing simple string manipulations, you can concatenate them with .. like this :

local foo = 100
print( tostring(foo) .. "%") -- 100%

or if you want more specific formatting you can use string.format

local foo = 100
print( string.format("%d%%", foo)) -- 100%

Use a ,. Its the same for both Lua and Python though Lua puts a tab between them in a print:

print(2, 3) # 2   3

or use io.write but then you need to handle the newline.

io.write("hello", " world\n") # hello world
