The rule is if the parameter name is preceded by a # in the macro expansion, the combination (of # and parameter) will be expanded into a quoted string with the parameter replaced by the actual argument. This can be combined with string concatenation to print desired the output.

This because there we use the JOIN STRING FUNCTION in which the str1 print& then next str2join the str1.

Because we have to use join string function.

# is called Stringizing operator, whatever you pass (here variable name ) is converted to String, so result come with the variable name.
