• Call the concatenation function, strcat. This method removes trailing spaces in the
  inputs. For example, combine character vectors to create a hypothetical email address.

name = 'myname ';

domain = 'mydomain ';

ext = 'com ';

address = strcat(name, '@', domain, '.', ext)

MATLAB returns

address =

'[email protected]'
