they are different because in example 2, you are trying to combine a string and an object (player) together, so an error occurs. To fix it try player.Name
this will give the name of the player object in the form of a string, which you will be able to concatenate
lmk if im wrong, but showing the error message would help me in being more exact

It works 😄
In events how do the parameters work? Are the first arguments in the function linked to the event?
molten spruce
pretty much, every event will give a different parameter depending on what the event is/does, like in your case .PlayerAdded gives the player that joined as a parmeter, you can check the documentation on the event to see what parameters it gives automatically
keep in mind that some events might not give any parameters as well

Hey would you recommend learning from documentation or tutorials?
Probably tutorials, i hate reading plus documentation is more for looking to understand a specific method, event, etc better
like if you saw something you didnt understand and you want to learn more about real quick
but tutorials will kinda teach you the basics better
but doing more advanced stuff will rely on your ability to apply the things you learned to many different contexts and doing your own experimenting
