Preparation HTML

<script>
  var one = String.fromCharCode(Math.floor(Math.random() * 128));
  var two = String.fromCharCode(Math.floor(Math.random() * 128));
  var three = String.fromCharCode(Math.floor(Math.random() * 128));
  var four = String.fromCharCode(Math.floor(Math.random() * 128));
  var arr = [one, two, three, four]
</script>

Direct concatenation
var foo = one + two + three + four;

Individual += statements
var foo = one;
foo += two;
foo += three;
foo += four;
ready
Individual statements
var foo = one;
foo = foo + two;
foo = foo + three;
foo = foo + four;

Using Array#join
var foo = arr.join('');

Single individual statement
var foo = one;
foo += two + three + four;

Function based (for)
function concat(arr) {
  len = arr.length;
  for (s = "", i = 0; i < 4; s += arr[i], i++);
  return s;
}

var foo = concat(arr);
