storing bunch of words in a string,

ronnier (2)
how do i store 5 words in a single string? and output it as a single string? like for example,

jake
blake
hen
for
luke

then store this 5 words in same format as you can see into a single variable so that i can represent or call it in just one variable. thanks for anyone who will help me, i appreciate it.

okay thanks, but what if i would like those 5 words will come from the user, then the 5 words will be store in a single string variable in that format?

Then use the middle example from Thomas1965 above.
That is, make use of the += operator to concatenate the strings one at a time.
