  - stringConcat
```
public Expression stringConcat()
                        throws MBFormatException
```
    Returns a string consisting of the concatenation of the inputs. Example: ["concat", string, string, ...]: string
    
    Returns:
    
    concatenate expression
    
    Throws:
    
    MBFormatException
  - stringDowncase
```
public Expression stringDowncase()
```
    Returns the input string converted to lowercase. Follows the Unicode Default Case Conversion algorithm and the locale-insensitive case mappings in the Unicode Character Database. Example: ["downcase", string]: string
    
    Returns:
    
    downcase string expression
  - stringUpcase
```
public Expression stringUpcase()
```
    Returns the input string converted to uppercase. Follows the Unicode Default Case Conversion algorithm and the locale-insensitive case mappings in the Unicode Character Database. ["upcase", string]: string
    
    Returns:
    
    uppercase string expression
  - getExpression
```
public Expression getExpression()
```
    Will return a function base on the mbexpression string name;
    
    Specified by:
    
    getExpression in class MBExpression
    
    Returns:
    
    expression based on mbexpression string name
