Discussion of article "MQL5 Programming Basics: Strings"
According to the description of these functions in MQL5 Reference, they allow us to add up strings in a more space efficient (in terms of the occupied working memory) and faster way.
In facts there are incoherence in documentation. I don't know about memory usage, but about faster or not, StringConcatenate() is MUCH slower than StringAdd and +

2013.04.11 19:09:47 teststring (EURUSD,M1) time for 'StringAdd(a,b)' = 94 milliseconds, i = 1000000
2013.04.11 19:09:47 teststring (EURUSD,M1) time for 'c = a + b' = 265 milliseconds, i = 1000000
